Because of the way Odoo works at its core, we do not know before hand which files will be loaded as an asset in the browser, because it depends on the installed Odoo addons. This is why it is historically difficult to integrate Odoo with standard JS tooling, and this is why Odoo needs to use a custom javascript module system. However, there is a way to use native JS modules (and gain all the benefits from it: IDE autocompletion, ease of refactoring, intellisense, ...): we can write JS as native JS modules, but convert them at runtime into Odoo custom modules. This is exactly the strategy applied by this PR. This has a lot of benefits, but there is a downside: we can no longer serve statically JS files in debug=assets. This would be a dealbreaker, if we did not have sourcemaps (implemented in the next commit). This commit introduces the python code that will transpile native JS modules into odoo JS modules.
