b990f71de0 [ADD] website_jitsi: allow to create Jitsi room on the frontend
RATIONALE

Events are sometimes held online, gathering a community. In this merge we
improve Event application to better support full-online events with improved
tracks, wishlists, chat rooms, ...

PURPOSE

Build a mixin to create and manage jitsi-based chat rooms on website.

SPECIFICATIONS: CHAT.ROOM

Add a new model `chat.room` which contains all the configuration of the Jitsi
room.

A mixin `chat.room.mixin` adds a many2one to any model inheriting from it. That
way behavior is optional without adding all fields on the model. We just need
to inherit from the mixin and to use the chat room widget to build chat room
on website for any model that needs it.

SPECIFICATIONS: WIDGET

Allow to give a default username when logging to jitsi if customers are logged.
That way they gain a step and can directly participate to chat rooms.

SPECIFICATIONS: PARTICIPANT COUNT

Jitsi do not provide a REST API (or a similar API) to get the number of
participant in a room (without hosting our own instance of Jitsi). The
only way to get the number of participant is to be in the room and to use
the Javascript API. That's why the participant send in RPC the number of
participant in the room, to update the counter on the server side.

We can not ask the user who is leaving to update the counter, because he
can close the tab on his browser (and so the event will not be triggered),
so, the first participant in the room send the update in RPC.

Update of participant is done using SQL in non blocking mode so that concurrent
accesses are not an issue. Even if participant count is not really accurate
this is not an issue as managers will monitor rooms.
