Currently user name is synchronized with employee name. However it is
interesting to synchronize other fields like image, email and timezone.
Changing an user linked to an employee through the UI already updates those
fields. This commit ensure code handles synchronization like UI. When
updating an user its related employees are updated. When changing the
user linked to an employee through code all fields are also correctly
synchronized.

Purpose of this commit is to improve settings by improving labels and
section titles. Purpose is to ease use of settings by users and make
it easier to understand.

The reified view on the res users will be dropped in the following commit.
The previous commit adds support to define each group as a computed field on the res users.
This commit defines:
- A boolean field for each 'isolated' res.group, i.e. a group in the hidden category.
- A selection field for each 'Application' res.group, i.e. a group in a application category.
Example:
- The group to manage pricelist in sales becomes a boolean field
- The groups project user/manager become a selection field
Posting on users is not supported anymore. It was implemented in a time
we thought having a twitter-like behavior in Odoo was a good idea.
Posting on users was redirected on its related partner in mail. It was
redirected on its related employee in hr. It does not make sense anymore
as employee are records with limited access and partners used for other
purpose than discussing notably in accounting.
Now that we have chat channels it makes no sense to have this kind of
behavior still implemented. Let us remove it. No functional change
should occur with this commit.
As message_post is defined on mail.thread abstract class its api.returns
is not automatically added on overridden versions of the method. This
commit add missing api.returns on all overrides of the method.
- Rewrite the code to new api without changes
business behavior
- Remove old v7 backward compatibility method
- Regroup view definitions in the same xml file
- Use read_group for computed fields
