Jinja as a templating engine was problematic in differents respect:
- introduce external dependency to Odoo (less controll)
- add another templating mechanism in the stack
- specific feature in qweb cannot be reused
- difficulty in rendering easily editable templates
- more knowledge required with no betterment
By replacing jinja with qweb we can now build tools to edit a qweb
that will work with the previously jinja encoded document
(essentially `mail.template` records).
There is a catch however. Some email fields (eg. email_to) used jinja
syntax for rendering dynamic variables (ie. ${object.something} and
${object.something_that_should_not_be_escaped | safe}).
We still want user to use dynamic variables for some char fields (eg.
subject, from, to, ...). We made a new rendering engine called
"inline_template" that will render an expression enclosed by `{{` and
`}}`.
To be able to edit the templates from the backend interface, a
plugin to the Odoo editor has been made for seamlessly edit the
document.
This qweb plugin includes:
- make dynamic variables (eg. `<t t-out="variable"/>`) not editable
(for preventing the user to shoot himself in the foot)
- group and hide related logical branching (ie. t-if, t-elif, and t-else)
in order to see only one at once
- a floating select input to switch visibility of a particular logical
branching

RATIONALE
Mail template model holds a field telling odoo mail engine to automatically
add the current user's signature to the body. Its use depends on the use
case
* using the template in the composer on a single record: it is displayed
in the rendered template in the composer, meaning people could change it.
This behavior is interesting as it allows to see the email content;
* using the template in the composer in mass mail mode: it is not displayed
as only the raw jinja is displayed. It is therefore not obvious that it
will be appended to the body of the mail. People could add it manually and
have 2 signatures as a result;
A mechanism automatically adding a signature to sent emails when posting a
message is already implemented and is based on template existence. If a
template has been used when posting, no signature is added in sent emails.
Otherwise it is automatically added. This behavior should not change.
Behavior will therefore be
* use a template -> specify signature usage in it manually through jinja;
* do not use a template -> signature added in sent emails;
SPECIFICATIONS
Remove user_signature.
Update template body accordingly. In customer oriented templates that are using
it and do not already contain it, manually add a call to user.signature within
the jinja code. When set to False, just remove its declaration.
Quickly clean some signature integration.

Purpose: use more email_formatted when possible, clean and simplify
email_from, email_to and partner_to computation.
Next step is to try to extract some common patterns in tools or methods in
order to simplify template creation and customization.

Purpose
=======
If the user fails his last attempt at a course certification, we remove him from
the members of the course (and he has to enroll again).
He receives an email in the process notifying him of his failure and suggesting
he enrolls to the course again.
The purpose is to have a 'certification flow' where the user can re-purchase the
certification when they have failed it.
This could lead to some issues if the course containing the certification also has
other slides with content because the user will not have access to them after failing.
This also prevents configuring courses with multiple certifications since the membership
will be removed at the first failure.
These use cases are considered "non standard" by the business and are thus not handled
in the code. We assume that users will configure their courses "correctly".
