Unify and refactor exception handling in framework and addons.
The generic `except_osv` is now deprecated, and replaced by more specialized exception subtypes:
- `UserError` (renamed from Warning, as it conflicts with the built-in `Warning`) raised when a non-technical error occurs during a business operation. It could be a missing information in the data provided by the user, or a misconfiguration.
- `AccessError`: raised when any operation is denied because the user conducting it does not have the required access rights.
- `AccessDenied`: raised when an operation that requires authenticated access is attempted via an unauthenticated request.
- `MissingError`: raised when an operation is attempted on a record that does not exist.
- `ValidationError`: raised when an operation violates a SQL or Python constraint.
- All other exceptions are internal errors due to a system problem or bug, and raised untouched to the client-side, which should display a traceback.
All exceptions take a single message argument.
The `test_exceptions` module has been updated to showcase both new and old (deprecated) exceptions.
A great many old `except_osv` had a useless title with "Error!" or "Warning", those have been removed, as this is handled by the client-side widget that displays the messages.
This commit introduces a more consistent policy for logging errors and warnings:
- All messages that do not require administrator attention should be logged at INFO level or lower. This includes all errors that are notified to the user in a friendly manner, even for access right problems or validation errors during business operations.
- All messages that indicate a likely misconfiguration or malicious use by the users should be logged at WARNING level, as they typically require administrator attention.
- All other unhandled internal errors cannot typically be handled by the user and should be logged at ERROR or higher level, as they require immediate administrator attention.
This commit prepares some cleaning in various hr-related modules that are
about to land in master. There are mainly improvements on subtypes. The
subtypes are now linked to department subtypes, allowing to follow some records
based on the department (like project/task/issue).
* remove old 'day', 'month', 'field' and replace them by the actual
date/datetime field
* remove weird cast to char when creating the view to prevent crash
when grouping on them
* remove duplicates (such as 'creation_date' and 'create_date')
* fix typing errors (field type date defined as a datetime in the
postgres view)
* fix search view definition
Rebranding has been done in:
- data/demo files
- html templates
- help notices
- comments
- logger messages
- and other various messages

Closes#1260
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
[MERGP] Inline Searchview
This task split the searchview in two parts: SearchView and SearchViewDrawer. The drawer is displayed inside the main view and the searchview stays in place. It also changes the scrolling behavior of the web client: the main view area can scroll without affecting the UI (so the various menus stays in place)
Because of this, other large changes have been made:
the drawer has been redesigned,
the Custom Filter widget has been split in two (Custom Report and SaveCurrentFilter),
the main view is now scrollable, so the UI stays in place and only the view can change
The text 'Group By...' has been changed into 'Group By' (most addons had to be modified)
bootstrap classes are used when it makes sense (for example, badge)
the left menu is also scrollable (separately from the main view)
It is likely that some stupid bugs have been introduced. Please don't hurt me.
