[IMP] whatsapp: silently post channel transfer warning notification

PR #113049

Enterprisemasterwhatsapp

This update quietly displays a notification within WhatsApp channels when a new template is sent. This prevents frequent, distracting pop-ups, particularly when multiple templates are used, ensuring a smoother user experience for contacts.

Original PR description

When a different user sends a WhatsApp template, a warning notification is posted in the active channel indicating that future replies will be moved to a new chat. This notification is now posted silently to avoid unnecessary popups, especially when templates are sent in bulk to multiple contacts with ongoing conversations.

[FIX] web_studio: prevent error on saving empty xml in report source editor

PR #112854

Enterprisemasterweb_editor

This update resolves an issue where users would encounter an error when attempting to save a report with an empty XML format in web_studio. The fix prevents the system from attempting to process invalid XML data, ensuring a smoother user experience. This improves report creation stability.

Original PR description

Currently an error is generated when the user tries to save a report
with an empty XML format.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install web_studio and sale_management
- Sales > Studio > Reports > New > External > Type Text in report
- Save > Edit Sources > Remove full XML > Save

Error: `XMLSyntaxError:Document is empty, line 1, column 1 (<string>, line 1)`

This error occurs because line [1] in `web_editor` attempts to access
nodes by using `etree.fromstring()` with an empty `view.arch`, which is
empty, resulting in an error.

In earlier versions, this error was already handled by the `_check_xml`
constraint, which raised a validation error when an `etree.ParseError`
occurred while parsing `etree.fromstring(view.arch)` with an empty
`view.arch` (see code reference [2]). However, recent changes introduced
in commit [3] allow  `view.arch` to be empty. As a result, this error
is no longer handled by the constraint.

This commit fixes the issue by adding a condition to prevent calling
`etree.fromstring()` when `view.arch` is empty, avoiding attempts to access
nodes from invalid data. It also updates the logic in the `web_studio`
module's `get_xml_editor_resources` method to ensure resources are processed
only when a valid view architecture is available.
