Some models would like to use the 'mail.alias.mixin' but it creates an alias for each record in the parent model. This leads to a lot of unused aliases if only a subset of those records really use aliases i.e. a lot of aliases with 'alias_name' being 'False'. In this commit we introduce a new mixin 'mail.alias.mixin.optional' that behaves like the old 'mail.alias.mixin' but without having the 'alias_id' field required i.e. without the "inherits". When creating a record without giving an 'alias_name' no alias is created. In future commit, we plan to use it notably to remove custom code in account journal model and make it more standard. Using it in more models will be done later, but it is a candidate to cleanup unused aliases related to discuss channel model.
