[IMP] hr_appraisal{_survey}: change appraisal feedback mail template

Enterprisemasterhr_appraisalhr_appraisal_survey

The appraisal feedback email template now uses the correct employee and appraisal information when preparing messages. This helps ensure recipients see accurate names and subject lines in appraisal feedback requests.

Original PR description

As validation is done through _generate_template, the object is survey.user_input. Therefore we access the employee name using appraisal_id. Also changing the model to use in the render method of the subject.

[IMP] l10n_cl_edi_*: embedded and inlined pdf417gen

PR #76081

Enterprisemasterl10n_cl_edil10n_cl_edi_stock

The Chilean electronic invoicing features now include the needed PDF417 barcode generator directly in Odoo, reducing reliance on an external package. This helps keep barcode creation stable for invoices and stock documents while adding regression testing to prevent output changes.

Original PR description

Cloned from https://github.com/ihabunek/pdf417-py
License is permissive, just needs copyright and permission notices to be included.

Version ported is 0.8.1, but has some changes to it:
- Method names have all been prefixed like `f"{filename}_{old_method_name}"`
- Removed the `console` interface so we don't have security warnings.
- Inlined all files.
- Added an Odoo test to check regression on the PDF417 PNG output.

Note that `PIL` is `Pillow`, and it's in `requirements.txt`
