[IMP] hr_expense: usability improvements

Core17.0hr_expenseMedium

The Expense app now makes common actions clearer and safer by positioning key buttons more conveniently, saving reports automatically when created from an expense, and making receipt attachments easier to preview. Expense report lines are no longer directly editable, reducing accidental changes while still letting users view the related receipt quickly.

Original PR description

This commit contains a few small improvements to Expense app.

- Primary button moved to the left.
- Reports are auto saved when created from an expense.
- "Attach Receipt" button now sets the uploaded attachment as the main attachment.
- Expense lines in a report are no longer editable. When a line is clicked, the main attachment for that expense (if any) is shown in the attachment previewer.

[IMP] hr_expense_extract: usability improvements

PR #50136

Enterprise17.0hr_expense_extractMedium

Expense receipt attachments now avoid triggering duplicate digitization requests. This makes attaching receipts smoother and helps prevent unnecessary processing when employees submit expenses.

Original PR description

The method _autosend_for_digitization was called twice when attaching a receipt in an expense. Once due to the widget `attach_document` and another due to an action with the same name. This commit moves the action to the community repo and changes it so it sets the main attachment for the expense instead.

[IMP] account_reports: Split account names during xlsx print

PR #48595

Enterprise17.0account_reportsMedium

Account reports exported to Excel now display account codes and names in separate columns instead of combined in one column. This makes the exported files easier to work with and organize in spreadsheet applications.

Original PR description

There are a few reports/options that have the account as line name.
When it happens, the account display name is shown, which contains
both the code and the name.

In this change, we aim to improve the xlsx print by dynamically
splitting the name in such a case in two columns, easing manipulation
of the file after export.
