PURPOSE
Cleanup alias definitions and usage to have as few invalid or dummy
data as possible. Cleanup empty list helpers override.
SPECIFCIATIONS
hr_expense: cleanup alias management
* globally avoid crashes if the alias data has been removed;
* recreate Xml ID record if it has been removed as it is considered as
being a master data;
* avoid issues when trying to configure the expense alias in settings if
alias has been manually removed. Setting a name now creates the alias
and an XmlID if it has been removed;
* rename a generic 'use_mail_gateway' field into 'expense_use_mail_gateway'
in order to avoid conflicts with future changes in generic settings linked
to email gateway and configuration
* fix empty list helper: it is now translated and correctly encode parameters
given to 'mailto';
hr_recruitment, maintenance: remove unused aliases
Those modules hold default aliases to respectively create applicants or
maintenance request. Issue with those generic aliases are
* they are not bound to any context (container document). For example jobs
is not linked to any job record. Applicants will not have any job_id set;
* they are not displayed anywhere. Applicant kanban view displays a helper
when having no content, with an email address to start populating the
view. This emails is however based on job in context, aka alias record
created through the alias mixin on the job.
* maintenance does not even try to use aliases in any view or code and just
defines a dummy alias;
* as default data they can be wrong: taking ``jobs`` and ``helpdesk`` is
not necessarily a good idea. Indeed it depends on mail server configuration
(e.g. not always owning all possible emails of a domain when using its own
address like gmail). This may also conflicts with existing email addresses
or already-defined aliases without being really configurable;
* they are not configurable. They are not displayed in any configuration flow
(setting or container document). Only going into technical menus to find all
aliases allows to find them;
