[IMP] base_vat: support 8-digit VAT numbers for Ukraine

Coresaas-18.4base_vat

This update expands Odoo's ability to handle Ukrainian Tax Identification Numbers (TINs). Previously, only 12-digit numbers were accepted. Now, 8-digit numbers (and 10 or 12-digit variations) are supported, resolving an issue where Ukrainian users were unable to correctly input their TINs.

Original PR description

with this commit:-
 - We are adding support for Ukrainian Tax ID numbers of 8 digits, which was 12 previously.
 - The following formats are now accepted:
   - National company numbers: 8 digits (e.g., 12345678)
   - European company numbers: 8 digits prefixed with 'UA' (e.g., UA12345678)
   - Individual numbers: 12 or 10 digits (e.g., 123456789012)
 - This change allows users to enter Ukrainian TINs that were previously incorrectly rejected due to length restrictions.

[IMP] l10n_ec: updating accounts, account groups

PR #244595

Coresaas-18.4l10n_ec

This update streamlines the accounting process for Ecuadorian businesses within Odoo. It simplifies expense categorization by consolidating accounts and adding a new account for specific benefits, while also preventing unnecessary reconciliation for income statement accounts. This improves accuracy and efficiency.

Original PR description

Improve the distribution of expense and cost of revenue accounts in Ecuadorian localization
We avoided not creating subcategories of expenses by eliminating the group called "Other employee benefit plan expense", which generated duplicity in the accounts. We fixed this by merging the accounts into the main "Employee benefit plan expense" group. Additionally, the account "Other employee benefits' was added to record any other benefits granted directly by the Ecuadorian companies. This ensures a better organization of the accounting setup.
Mark as non-reconcilable the expense accounts (salaries and wages, travel expenses, contributions, etc) to avoid unnecessary reconciliation processes, these accounts are income statements and they are not accounts payable/receivable, therefore, they are closed at the end of the accounting period
