[IMP] l10n_ch_hr_payroll_elm_transmission_5_3: ELM 5.3 Certification

Enterprise19.0l10n_ch_hr_payrollMEDIUM

This update brings Odoo's Swissdec ELM Certification in line with version 19.0, enhancing compliance with Swiss regulations. Key improvements include support for French-crossborder worker telework, adjustments to retirement regulations, and automated calculations for child and education allowances, ensuring accurate reporting.

Original PR description

This Pull request extends the Odoo Swissdec ELM Certification to the minor version 5.3. By doing so we add the following features :

- Telework Percentage declaration for French-crossborder comuters 
- Adapting to AVS21 regulation, where retired employees can refuse their right to retirement
- Adding automatic Child and education allowance calculation
- Add the calculation of LPP in %
- Allowing the specification of custom employer parts for LAAC and IJM

[IMP] account: assert or save XML test helpers

PR #237861

Core19.0account

This update streamlines accounting test creation by introducing a standardized helper for managing XML files. It simplifies saving, updating, and ignoring specific XML elements, reducing errors and improving test organization. This change enhances the reliability and maintainability of our accounting test suite.

Original PR description

> This is a backport of the merged https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/235565 - with a couple of improvements & adaptations to the test files.

This commit adds helpers and improves on the way we assert XML files in `AccountTestInvoicingCommon` and all accounting test that extend from it. From now on, all accounting test code that assert an XML tree/string to an XML file should call the `assert_xml` helper, and design their test file name/location/etc. around this framework.

This approach has a few major benefits:

Assert / Save XML

When testing XML files, we often need to perform create/read/update operations on the asserted XML to make sure it corresponds to the most updated/intended data. Previously, to save something to an XML, a developer would need to write their own local helpers to save the XML in the right directory. This was cumbersome and error-prone, so we decided to design a helper that allows developer to immediately save AND/OR update the asserted XML: to save/update an XML, we can simply add `SAVE_XML` as an additional test tags.

Better test naming and optional subfolder management

To better organize test files, the `assert_xml` method allows us to write just the test key name (without `.xml`), and the framework will automatically get the XML to assert/save from the `test_files` directory. An optional `subfolder` parameter is also added to allow writing to specific subfolder within `test_files`.

Better `___ignore___` management in assertion XMLs

Sometimes, we want to ignore a few XML node that are not relevant, or have content that are not deterministic (changes on every test run). To handle this, previously, developers would need to modify the assertion XML content by hand or write their own local script to do so.

With this new framework, we just need to add an `ignore_schema.xml` file somewhere in the `test_files` directory. If put inside a subfolder, it will be applied with more priority towards the XML that are put on that specific subfolder.

Save "pure" XML (before applying `___ignore___`) in temporary folder

When calling `SAVE_XML`, before applying the ignore patches, the XML will be saved in a temporary folder (same folder as the screenshots for tours), so that developers can use them in external tests in the future, and for any other saving reasons.

In addition, this commit also:

- add `extra_tags` helper to save all the common tags for EDIs, for a better way to enable `EXTERNAL_MODE` testing inspired by `l10n_mx_edi`
- convert some non-assert XML test helpers into a class method
- canonicalize the XML to ensure consistency of the generated test files following the C14N Version 2 standard. (Deterministic namespaces location, sorted attributes, etc.)
