This commit prepares SMS refactoring by updating some mail models. Purpose
is to be able to store SMS notification information inside existing mail
flow and models.
Main changes
* mail.notification: define a notification_type field to store the medium
used to notify people. In mail two ways exist: inbox and email. It will
ease introduction of SMS notification mechanism. This field replaces the
is_email boolean field;
* mail.notification: make res_partner_id field not required. This means
notifications could be linked to something else than a partner. An SMS
for example. For Inbox and email notifications partner is still required
and a constraint is added accordingly;
* mail.thread: let notification methods handle the creation and update of
their notification instead of creating them in _notify_thread and tweaking
them in sub notification methods;
* mail.thread: clearly move inbox-style notification in its own method like
notify by email;
Some lighter code changes
* propagate message_type to notification recipient computation. It will
allow for example to be more precise when computing a notification type
depending on the message_type. For example, send a notification by SMS
when the message_type is SMS;
* ease inheritance of ``_notify_thread`` by returning computed recipients
data. It will allow to work on it without having to re-compute it;
* propagate kwargs from message_post and message_notify to notify methods.
This allow to avoid depending on context and set explicit parameters.
Drawback is that message_post and notify must separate kwargs used to
create a message and those that are propagated to notification methods;
* update various notification check to ensure they work on email
notifications, notably the resend and cancel wizards;
One side effect of this commit is that notifications are created by the
relevant notification method. Previously all notifications were created
by writing on needaction_partner_ids fields then updated according to the
notification process. Notably there could be too much notification created
when sending emails due to _notify_customize_recipients not being correctly
synchronized with notification. This issue is now solved as only really
sent emails create notifications.
Migration tips
* notification_type: notification.is_email and 'email' else 'inbox';
* remove is_email;
