With this commit, we introduce a new way to perform a RPC. During the
history of the Odoo web client, many ways to do a rpc have been
introduced, for various reasons. Let us mention the Model class (to
perform a call on a specific method from a model, the web.ajax module
(low level primitive), the dataset.call method, the this.rpc method (was
removed at some point), the session.rpc method and maybe some others.
With this commit, we reintroduce the this.rpc method, with a
'mid-level' API: not really high level (not automatic domain/context
calculations), but still higher level than direct web.ajax calls.
This new method is intended to replace all other RPCs in Odoo web
client. Of course, web.ajax will still be available, but it is
discouraged to use it directly. Using the rpc method means that the
rpcs are done through an event bubbling up, which means that the call is
testable.
