[FIX] account_avatax: set default accounts after CoA load

PR #132005

Enterprise19.0account_avataxMedium

This fixes an issue where new US companies using AvaTax could create taxes without the proper accounting account when the database was set up without demo data. AvaTax invoice and refund accounts are now assigned during company setup, helping ensure tax entries post correctly from the start.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a DB and Install `Accounting` without demo data
- In Companies > Create New Company with `US` Localization
- Switch to US Company > Add `Avatax` Credentials
- Create a Product with `Avatax Category`
- Create a Invoice > In Other Info `Fiscal Position` - `Automatic Tax Mapping (AvaTax)` > `Compute Taxes`
- In Taxes check newly created tax does not have a account ID

Issue:
AvaTax fiscal position created from chart templates have empty `avatax_invoice_account_id` and `avatax_refund_account_id` fields on a fresh database without demo data.

Problem:
Both fields use [defaults] based on `company.account_sale_tax_id`. During initial CoA loading, `_load_data()` creates the AvaTax fiscal position before `_post_load_data()` sets `company.account_sale_tax_id`. The defaults therefore resolve to an empty recordset and no tax account is assigned. This issue does not occur in databases with demo data because the demo company is already loaded, so `company.account_sale_tax_id` is already set when the AvaTax fiscal position is created.

Solution:
Set the invoice and refund accounts explicitly in the AvaTax fiscal position template to ensure they are correctly assigned during CoA loading.
