[IMP] base: advertise view's active behavior in <template> vs <record>
Upon updates, the `active` field of `ir.ui.view` behaves differently depending on whether the view is defined by using the `<template>` tag or the `<record>` tag. When using `<record>`, it behaves like any other field and gets updated with the new value (notice that for qweb view, you should rarely rely on this as if users customized those views with the website builder, they are duplicated (COW)... updating the active field without migration script would then be a source of errors). When using `<template>`, it is not updated since [1], except for new records since [2]. This commit adds a comment to the `active` field to help developers find out about this difference. See this [discussion].
