[IMP] account: automatic validation of payment with bank account

PR #190225

Core18.0accountMEDIUM

Payments that use a bank account as the outstanding account are now automatically marked as validated when created. This prevents payments from remaining stuck “In process” when businesses intentionally skip reconciliation to create accounting entries more quickly.

Original PR description

### Purpose

Since the Payment without Entry, we've added new Payment Statuses on the payment. We've already added some heuristics to automatically mark payments as validated when the payment is reconciled.

But we allow the users to set Bank accounts directly as Outstanding. It's often used by people who want to easily get their Accounting entry created, but they want to skip the reconciliation process. The problem is that, as the reconciliation is skipped, the auto-validation heuristic is never applied, and so all those payments stay "In process".

### Implementation

If the Outstanding account set on the Payment Method is of type Bank, the payment is auto-validated once created.
