### [IMP] l10n_cn_reports: update BS & PnL We update the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports to be consistent with updated ASBE and ASSBE standards odoo-[251681](https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/251681) task-[5939988](https://www.odoo.com/odoo/all-tasks/5939988) --- We encountered an issue where setting `groupby = False` still resulted in an error (no groupby and children lines). This was resolved by setting a co-dependent variable `user_groupby = False`. The reports has lines with "Includes:" and sibling lines' name are expected to be aligned with it. Hierarchy lines and using various space characters (CJK space `　`, and "en" space ` `) was a maintenance nightmare. We instead chose to remove `includes:` as it's implied by the natural indentation of grouped lines. Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#109175
