With the 7.0 model all accounting-related fields are synchronized
from company to contacts (both are res.partner records), so the
unique check is not a trivial unique constraint. It must be updated
to use a *partial unique index* that applies only to "commercial
entities" and not to contacts. The condition for being a commercial
entity is "is_company is true or parent_id is NULL".
If companies have unique vat/nrc numbers, then their contacts
will be consistent because they are automatically synchronized,
so the uniqueness between contacts does not have to be checked.
(The auto-sync is performed by res.partner automatically and covered
by tests in the "base" module)

Fixes handling of accounting/invoicing-related fields on partners
that are not "commercial entities" (either marked as "is_company"
or parentless).
The corresponding fields are also hidden from form views on these
partners and replaced by a short sentence and a link to edit the
"master fields" on the commercial entity.
This corresponds to part B of the solution described on bug 1160365.
