[IMP] hr_recruitment: Bye Candidate, Hi Talent Pool

Enterprisemasterhr_recruitmentappointment_hr_recruitmentdocuments_hr_recruitmenthr_appraisalhr_contract_salaryhr_recruitment_extractHigh impact

The recruitment app now centers hiring activity on applications instead of separate candidate records, making simple hiring workflows easier for smaller companies. A new talent pool feature preserves advanced recruiting needs by letting teams reuse strong applicant profiles as templates for future job openings.

Original PR description

The goal of this PR can be split into three sections:

1. Remove the hr.candidate model
   The removal of the hr.candidate model required migrating information previously attached to the candidate over to the applicant. This change aims to simplify the flow of the recruitment app, as most SMEs don't need extensive complex recruitment workflows for hiring a few people occasionally.

2. Introduce the hr.talent.pool model
   While removing hr.candidate means losing features useful for industries like headhunting, the new talent pool system aims to re-introduce these features. It enables creating application templates (talents) from existing applications and using these talents to generate applications for other jobs.

3. Other minor UI/UX/DX tweaks
   - Improved job position form view for better user experience
   - Improved applicant form view to integrate with talent pool system
   - Renamed appraisal_goal_date/timeless_date to 'timeless_datetime' and moved it to 'hr' so it can be used in both appraisal and recruitment

These changes make the recruitment app more versatile. Smaller companies with simple recruitment processes can use basic applications and recruitment flows (similar to 17.4), while companies with complex needs can leverage talent pools to manage applications as they did with the candidate model.
