[REF] *: avoid using hoot helpers in tour files

Enterprisemasterhr_contract_salaryhr_payrollknowledgemrp_workorderpos_restaurant_appointmentstock_barcodetest_l10n_be_hr_payroll_accounttimesheet_grid

This update refines internal automated tours used to verify key workflows across HR, payroll, manufacturing, inventory, restaurant appointments, timesheets, knowledge, and barcode operations. It makes these checks wait for the right screen elements before running, reducing false failures and improving confidence in release quality without changing day-to-day user features.

Original PR description

In this commit, we prefer to use :
- trigger instead of assertions in run function. Tour engine wait for trigger in DOM while run fires directly when trigger is found. Then if trigger is too much obvious (like 'body') run is fired ... and assertions can occur too fast.
- delay from currency, not hoot.
- animation frame from native, not hoot.

[REF] payment_sepa_direct_debit,sale_subscription: refactor payment form

PR #92090

Enterprisemasterpayment_sepa_direct_debitsale_subscription

The payment form code for SEPA Direct Debit and subscriptions has been reworked to use Odoo’s newer interaction approach. This is an internal modernization that should help keep payment-related screens easier to maintain without changing the customer-facing process.

Original PR description

Convert payment form Public Widget to Interaction.

[REF] core,*: use hooks to skip field computation on init

PR #224218

This refactor simplifies how Odoo modules avoid heavy recalculations when new stored computed fields are added during installation. It makes the setup process easier for developers to understand and helps reduce the risk of memory issues on large databases, without changing day-to-day user workflows.

Original PR description

This commit adds a hook called on the `_auto_init` method to be called whenever a new computed stored field should not be computed when installing the module containing it.

It is common for a new model to add an `_auto_init` extension method to create the column of a new computed stored field to prevent it from being computed. This is usually done to prevent MemoryError on large databases.

The way it has been written is however not intuitive, as one would have to know non-existent columns are going to be computed when the column is created, and the way we have been preventing them would not be understood normally without reading the comments.

This refactor makes it clear from the hook method name that we are adding fields that we intend to skip computation on, and is less complex and much more easier to understand at first glance.
