[IMP] l10n_us_hr_payroll: add support for IRS form 940 and 941

Enterprisemasterl10n_us_hr_payrolll10n_us_payment_nachal10n_us_hr_payroll_accountHIGH

US payroll now supports exporting data needed for IRS Forms 940 and 941 as CSV files, making it easier for businesses to prepare federal payroll tax filings through third-party services. The change also reuses bank account type information across US localization modules to support this reporting flow.

Original PR description

The PR consists of 2 commits, the first moves the `l10n_us_bank_account_type` field to `l10n_us` so we can reuse it here. The second implements an export feature for both form 940 and 941, similar to the existing W2 form export.

PR notes
---
Hello! Some remarks for the HR reviewer that looks at this PR:
- I suppose it’s possible to extract a common class `l10n.us.form` that would pull out some common fields and code from `l10n.us.form.940`, `l10n.us.form.941` and `l10n.us.w2`. I’m not sure it’s worth it, let me know your preference!
- The tests aren’t perfect because it seems that testing with the full US payslip rules can only happen in `test_us_hr_payroll_account`. I’m not sure it’s appropriate to test these forms there. `l10n.us.w2` has always been untested, so at least these new forms are a relative improvement. Let me know!
