Purpose of this task is to cleanup usage of main mail.thread post methods and
helpers as well as composer usage and code. Achieve this by removing or
cleaning deprecated code, simplifying flow / API, improving composer support
of templates, rewrite composer code, ease batch support.
In this task we notably
* cleanup input / output as well as default values for message_post as well
as 'with view' and 'with template' helpers. Those are now cleaned and
two main helpers are introduced: post with source (view or template)
and mail with source (view or template), depending on main notification
style.
* rewrite and improve template code generating values from the template
definition. It is now cleaner, delegated into sub methods and made
more efficient in batch mode, notably when computing or creating
recipients;
* rewrite and improve composer code generating values for either posting
either sending a mass mailing. It is now better separated into a static
rendering and a dynamic rendering;
* supports a batch post on documents, instead of being limited to a single
res_id and improve overall code to be batch-enabled;
* support scheduled_date from template;
* support multi reports templates;
* perform various code cleaning, rewriting in order to achieve both a more
readable code, easier to override and understand as well as better tested
and documented;
* cleanup configuration of composer. Use fields, better define and update
their value. Don't add them in UI but allow more fine-grain usage, notably
when invoked in code;
METHODOLOGY NOTE
Several points are linked to different tasks. A big PR containing a cleaning
and some improvements in the composer behavior, usage and definition allowed
to ease testing and review.
This PR is build on previously merged content that originated form this PR.

Next step will be to improve composer fields to be editable computed fields
and remove the onchange and hard-to-predict code. Translation support will
also be improved, as well as some performance bits.
