When we use the "Retry" button in case of a failed SMS mailing, it puts
the mailing back to the queue, which will be processed when on the next
cron call of `Mail Marketing: Process queue` (generally on the next
day). However, it should immediately generate a cron trigger in this
case so that SMS(s) can be sent right away.
The same goes for Email Marketing, where it should immediately generate
a cron trigger so the mailing can be sent immediately.
With this commit, instead of simply putting the mailing back to the
queue, we utilize the method `action_put_in_queue` which immediately
generates the cron trigger in both cases.

PURPOSE
This commit consolidates UTM usage across all applications.
Global purpose is to avoid having undesired side-effects, such as unlinking an
utm.source/utm.medium/utm.campaign and at the same time cascading the deletion
to various records without noticing.
SPECS
ALLOW MORE PEOPLE TO CLEAN UTM RECORDS
Currently, not even the system administrator can delete utm.mediums and
utm.sources (he can only delete campaigns).
These were considered as "technical records", but allowing some cleanup is
a good idea since these records are often automatically generated and can
create a lot of unnecessary noise in the database.
That's why we now allow the following groups to delete all UTM records
(sources, mediums and campaigns):
- group_system
- group_mass_mailing_user
- group_social_manager (enterprise)
PREVENT DELETION
For some use cases, removing an utm.source/utm.medium/utm.campaign would
cascade delete the related record, which was unintended / hidden side effect.
These combinations were secured by preventing to unlink:
- mailing.mailing source_id field
Trying to delete the utm.source will throw an error message
- mailing.mailing medium_id field
Trying to delete the utm.medium will throw an error message
- hr.recruitment.source source_id field
Trying to delete the utm.source will throw an error message
ADDING CLEAN ERROR MESSAGES
When trying to delete an UTM record that is linked with ondelete="restrict", we
improved the error message to give a clear explication to the user, e.g:
"You can't delete these UTM sources as they are linked to the following
mailings in the Mass Mailing APP, and deleting the source would break the
statistics: Newsletter"
SPECIFY 'ondelete' strategy
For a lot of uses of sources/mediums/campaigns, the 'ondelete' strategy was not
specified, leading to the confusion of "is this really how we want to handle
this?".
A lot of ondelete="set null" have been added in various field definitions to
ensure that this is the desired and logical strategy we want for that
specific model.
PREVENT REMOVING HARDCODED UTM RECORDS
In some functional flows, UTM records are hardcoded using their direct
record reference.
This is notably the case for the recruitment process and its creation of
aliases, and for the Email / SMS Marketing flows.
As deleting them would break these flows, we prevent their deletion in a
"api.ondelete" method.
ENFORCE NEW RULES WITH TESTS
A lot of python tests have been added to make sure we enforce the decisions
taken here above.

Since the introduction of Odoo Editor, `field_html`'s `_getValue` uses
`wysiwyg.getValue`. This conflicts with the mechanism of `mass_mailing`
which modifies the html of the editable area in place to save an
"e-mailable" version on the `body_html` field, then relies on
`_getValue` to reset the original html (`body_arch`).
This ensures the field has a value before modifying the html in place,
so we can manually restore it instead of relying on a side effect of the
old behavior of `_getValue`.
Part-of: odoo/odoo#75901
Manage correctly a/b testing in mass_mailing.
We can now organize a mass_mailing campaign by testing
multiple mailings for the recipients targeted (subject,
templates, design, ...)
For this a new tab on the mailing record is added to better
promote the existence of the feature.
When an user has the group to manage mailing campaign, he can
access the tab A/B Test. This tab allows to enable A/B testing
for the mailing. If there is no campaign set for the mailing,
one is automatically created allowing the user to continue
smoothly.
Once A/B testing enable, the percentage of recipients use can be
set for each mailings. Also, the user can choose the deciding factor
that will set the final mailing as winner.
In a case, the user is not in manual mode, he can set the schedule datetime
for sending the final mailing.

Make the email body take the entire space to avoid having some wasted space,
this will also make the user have more focus when designing an email.
Revamp the settings notebook page in order to give more clarity to the user,
and move some fields from the main form have been moved to this section to
have more space in the bottom for the email body.
In the mailing form, when the mailing is sent or is being sent, set fields
which are no longer useful for the user to change to readonly mode.
Add a wizard that enables the user to schedule a mailing, the schedule field is
still kept in the form for the user to be able to change the date when the
mailing is in the queue (if they want to send it sooner).
Display an action helper-style content when the email is empty, because,
currently, the user is left with a big white screen when the email has no
content which is not desirable.
Update the html_empty function to take into account style attributes to better
match the editor's void content.
Hide A/B testing fields from SMS mailing form view as these are not supported
for SMS marketing.

Purpose of this commit is to improve tracking of opened traces. Notably
a token is added to ensure we do not mess with traces and have unique
tracking URLs.
MIGRATION REMARK
Emails sent before the migration will not be marked as opened anymore after
migration. We recommend to avoid sending statistically important mass mailings
about one week before migrating database. Indeed statistics show that most of
open emails happen within the first week after being sent.

Purpose
=======
Mailing lists are not flexible. It should be possible to merge mailing lists and remove duplicates when doing it.
Specification
=============
- When selecting records, in the action menu, add "Merge selected mailing lists"
- A modal will open :
- There's the choice between merging the contacts into a new mailing list or an existing one
- There's the choice to archive the source mailing lists or not
- The duplicates are avoided in the destination mailing list
- Opt-out contacts are not copied in the destination list
- Preserved explicit 3rd-party copyright notices
- Explicit boilerplate should not be necessary - copyright law applies
automatically in all countries thanks to Berne Convention + WTO rules,
and a reference to the applicable license is clear enough.
