codebase. More information on the Owl library can be found in the project

In particular, qunit 2.3.0 solves this issue: https://github.com/qunitjs/qunit/issues/1119
A consequence of the above issue is that some tests could have completed successfully,
although an error was raised.
This commit introduce a full redesign of all JS views. We started
basically from scratch. The goal was to unify all the various views
under a common framework, to make them testable, to make then usable in
different conditions (in studio, or in the frontend), and to make our
lives easier.
Some important points are:
- we introduced new coding guidelines (camelCase, 80 chars width, ...)
- we have a brand new testing framework (still QUnit based)
- kanban view moved to the web addon
- calendar view (formerly web_calender) moved to web as well
- the tree view was removed
- all new code should be documented
We hope that this code is the start of a new era for the Odoo web
client, we want to have a high quality codebase, well documented, well
tested, well designed.
Work done by the framework team: mostly aab, ged, chm, dmo, qsm
The testing framework was done with an old version of qunit. We had to
program our layer on top of it to provide support for promises in tests.
The last version of qunit now supports promises, and the testing
framework needs to be reworked anyway with the new modules.
