[IMP] config: support glob patterns in addons_path

Core19.0base

Odoo can now accept wildcard-style folder patterns when configuring where add-ons are stored. This makes it simpler for teams managing several Odoo repositories under one location, reducing manual setup and maintenance.

Original PR description

Pass all addons_path entries through glob.glob(), which returns [path] for literal paths and expands patterns otherwise.

This is useful when managing multiple Odoo repositories under a common root, avoiding the need to list each addons path explicitly.

[PERF] l10n_in{,_sale}: avoid querying for foreign state

PR #265007

Core19.0l10n_inl10n_in_sale

This update removes an unnecessary lookup performed while handling Indian sales and invoices. It can make repeated imports faster and reduce avoidable database work, especially when processing large batches.

Original PR description

There is no need to do a query to get a random foreign state. This search can be performed many times during imports.

While the query is generally not reading a lot of data, it is still doing a seq scan because of the ORDER BY, while the query can be avoided completely.

```sql
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
  SELECT "res_country_state"."id"
    FROM "res_country_state"
   WHERE "res_country_state"."code" NOT IN ('IN')
ORDER BY "res_country_state"."code", "res_country_state"."id"
   LIMIT 1;
                                                          QUERY PLAN

This can be worse if when the table is not in the buffer.
