Purpose is to have sponsors always behaving like other website records, aka
not published are not displayed. It allows manager to create sponsors without
having them displayed on frontend while not completely ready to do so.
Add field in search as well as in form view, allowing to better distinguish
sponsors ("display in footer") from exhibitors (classic website published
button with redirection to frontend page).

PURPOSE
Improve sponsor management, especially when dealing with publication at
sponsor level, exhibitor level, or exhibitor using chat (jitsi).
SPECIFICATIONS
Introduce a new category field containing sponsor, exhibitor or online
exhibitor. Meaning is
* sponsor: display as a sponsor (sponsor cards at the bottom of events).
No publish management is done at sponsor level: a sponsor is always
displayed in the sponsor widget;
* exhibitor: display as a sponsor in sponsor cards. An exhibitor is also
displayed in /exhibitors page and allow publish management. Also allow
to edit description as it is used in front-end page view of exhibitor;
* online exhibitor: same as exhibitor and allow to configure jitsi (online)
capabilities. It also activates display of jitsi in frontend;
An exhibitor would be a sponsor that has a physical stand but no online
support. Online exhibitors hold a jitsi room to chat with online visitors.
Also add field in kanban view.
In frontend rename "Connect" to "More info" when exhibitor has no online
capabilities. That way we don't connect with an exhibitor that has only
a published description.
SPECIFIATIONS: B2B
Clearly separate sponsorship levels (gold, silver) from exhibitor type
(sponsor, exhibitor, online). Propagate this new naming through views and
menus as well as frontend filters.
Reword sponsor form view, notably to have a clean 2 column display. Left
column holds customer related information. Right column holds event and
sponsorship information.

RATIONALE
Events often have sponsors displayed on their front page. This should be
a real standalone feature of Online Event application. However currently it
cannot be used without tracks managements
PURPOSE
Purpose of this task is to allow to use and display sponsors on an Event front
page without using tracks. Moreover online and chat capabilities should be
part of a sponsor feature, located within website_event_exhibitor module.
SPECIFICATIONS
Merge website_event_track_exhibitor into website_event_exhibitor and remove
dependency on website_event_track. That way all features related to sponsors
are now located within website_event_exhibitor.
