Since the generic search bar was introduced in [1] all text fields were
truncated in search results.
This caused problems for long URLs which were truncated as well, and
therefore could become invalid.
After this commit URL fields specify `'truncate': False` in their search
detail metadata, which informs the rendering to skip the text truncation
step for that field.
Also added previously missing controller-level tests of the
autocompletion.
Steps to reproduce:
- start odoo with website_forum and demo data
- go to the Help forum
- search for "configure" in the Help forum
- click on the auto-complete suggestion
- => redirected to a 404 page because the URL was shortened
To test the fix on other models, use a long enough name that causes the
problem. E.g.: "This product has such a long name its URL would have
been truncated without the fix contained in this branch".
Note that the problem did not occur on blogs because the URL does not
contain the name, but the same fix was applied for consistency.

Before this commit searched terms were the ones entered by the end-user.
After this commit if the searched term is not found then the search is
performed on a resembling term.
The similarity is obtained from a Levenshtein distance combined with
ratios of common and different letters.
By default the dictionary against which the search term is matched is
based on the content of the search fields containing a word that starts
with the first letter of the search term.
If the `pg_trgm` Postgresql extension is installed the dictionary is
built from matches using the `<%%` operator (similar to the
`word_similarity` function).
Several approaches were benchmarked during development, those results
are available through the task record.
