Purpose
=======
We need to use an international word to define holidays and leaves, rename everything into Time Off.
Employees needs a good dashboard and leaves summary
Specification
=============
1/ Add a new dashboard: https://balsamiq.cloud/sm5j0d/pg5w04r
Create a new dashboard with a calendar and a summary of all time off and time off request
2/ Rename leaves into Time Off everywhere
3/ Improve general usability

Purpose of this commit is to simplify the configuration of leave type and
use the job of HR officers / manager by making options clearer and easier
to use.
Specifications for leave type :
* display name as header;
* remove accrual option from leave type. It is now configured directly
on allocation requests;
* add a "X days allocated" stmart button. If you set a general allocation
of 20 days, the stat button will display 20 days. Even if you go update
the allocation by employee after that. Purpose is to have the value of
main allocation done in group, not individual cases of some employees;
* add a "Group leaves" stmart button. It leads to a new leave requests
in group mode where mode is visible;
* have a unique allocation type field replacing the setting allowing to make
leave or allocation as well as limit and negative fields;
* limit leave duration encoding to two options, either day-based (allowing to
take full days or half a day), either hours-based (allowing to take full
days, half a day or some specific hours in a given day);
More technically
* limit and negative fields are removed. It was confusing as limit set to
True means you can actually exceed the limit). It can be computed based
on allocation_type ('no' meaning you can bypass the limit);
* request_unit is simplified. Day and half are merged into day;
* accrual and balance limit are moved to allocation model;
Specifications for allocation requests
* set accrual specific on allocation itself and not coming from the leave
type configuration anymore. Indeed we now consider accrual to be done
case by case independently from the leave type;
* remove negative and balance_limit. Indeed we now consider people have to
check by hand what is done by accrual;
Leave and allocation are slightly impacted by other changes, such as domain
for default leave types. Changes have been made as small as possible. Future
commits will still improve leave and allocation models and views, going
further in the cleaning process. Some tests are udpated to match the new
configuration of leave type.
This commit is linked to task ID 1876795 and PR #26571.
Purpose
=======
Have a clear distinction between leave and allocation requests instead of
using the same model to mix 2 different concepts.
Splitting the model will allow different business code to be run on each
model as allocations and leaves are not exactly the same thing; this
will add some code but simplify future improvements
Specification
=============
1/ Completely separate the models
Model hr.holidays has been split into leave.request and
leave.allocation.
2/ Make reporting working again by using an SQL view aggregating data
from leaves and allocations
A new report has been added in order to aggregate
datas from both allocations and requests. The views have been modified
accordingly.
This commit proposes to allow to automatically generate timesheet lines
when an employee is on leaves. Project and task used for timesheeting
is globally configured on the company. Holidays type choose whether to
generate timesheets or not and take the company default configuration.
When an HR officer validates a leave request, analytic lines will be
generated for each day off. The unit amount will be based on the working
calendar of the employee taking the leave. Generated timesheet lines are
attached to the project and task configured on the holidays type.
Configuring timesheet lines generation at holiday type level allows to
tune the use of leave requests. You may have for example "home working"
holiday type that should not generate timesheets while "legal leaves"
should.
