[IMP] web: search_bar quick search uses Dropdown

Enterprisemasteraccount_accountantaccount_reportsdocuments_spreadsheetindustry_fsm_salemrp_workorderplanningproject_enterprisesignweb_studiowebsite_studioMEDIUM

The quick search menu in the search bar now opens using a more robust dropdown behavior, helping it appear correctly even when users work inside pop-ups or overlays. This improves day-to-day usability and reduces cases where search options are hidden or difficult to access.

Original PR description

This commit makes it so the search_bar quick search uses the Dropdown component, this fixes issues where the menu would sometimes be under overlays such as modals.

[IMP] mrp_workorder: shop floor auto close MO

PR #75307

Enterprisemastermrp_workorderquality_mrp_workorderquality_mrp_workorder_worksheetMEDIUM

Shop floor teams can now choose whether the final work order closes the manufacturing order directly. This reduces extra clicks for teams that usually close orders right away, while letting others keep a manual closing step to match their process.

Original PR description

Currently, in the shop floor, when marking the last WO of an MO as done, there is the option to also close the MO.
This requires users who want to close the MO to press two buttons in different places.
For users who don't want to close the MO, this can also lead to confusion whether they marked the WO as done or not.

To improve the user experience, we introduce a new option: 'Close Manufacturing Order' which allows the desired shop floor WO close behavior to be set in the operation type settings.

When enabled (default), the mark as done button on the last WO of an MO in the shop floor will have a 'Close Production' button directly instead of a 'Mark as Done' button.

When disabled, the MO needs to be closed manually after marking the last workorder as done, as we now no longer show the Close production button on the workorder after marking it as done.

[IMP] stock_barcode: packaging barcodes scan as contents on homepage

PR #74785

Enterprisemasterstock_barcodeMEDIUM

Scanning a packaging barcode from the barcode app homepage now works like scanning the product barcode, making it easier to find items without opening packaging. Inventory counting behavior is unchanged, so packaging scans during inventory still add the correct packaged quantity.

Original PR description

Normally, scanning the barcode of a product packaging has no effect on the barcode module homepage. For the convenience of not having to open the packaging in order to scan the barcode of the product it contains just to locate it, the barcode on the packaging itself is now treated the same way as the barcode on the product itself when scanned on the module homepage. The behaviour with inventory taking (ie adding the product as many times as the packaging contains) remains unchanged.
