[MERGE] base, mail, mass_mailing: allow data_merge deduplicate on models action menus

This merge is linked to the enterprise data_merge feature to allow to activate a 'Merge' button
on the models contextual menu.

- In order to be able to add a button to activate contextual merge action on the
target model, the ir.model form view had to be adapted to add the header.
- In mass_mailing model, a flag is added to avoid to activate the generic merge action on the model.
- On order to allow to log a message (_message_log) using a xml template, a new method has been added
to mail_thread model : _message_log_with_view.
