- Fix autosync of accounting/invoicing-related fields on contacts, just as if they were actually modeled as fields.related to the parent commercial entity. This starts with the addition of the new functional field `commercial_partner_id`, to locate the commercial entity for any partner. The commercial entity is defined as the first ancestor (starting at the partner itself) that is either marked `is_company` or has no parent.
- Corrected autosync of address fields (bug 1160425). Also included in the same patch, because those two mechanisms are closely related and share some parts of the implementation. "use_parent_address" now defaults to False, and auto-sync only happens downstream, except for a special case when creating a new company and a new contact at the same time
- `is_company` does not reset the parent_id field anymore, to allow for multi-level structures. The `parent_id` field now also stays visible if it has a non-empty value
- the `email`, `phone`, `fax`, `mobile`, `lang`, etc. that were sometimes synced when changing parent company are now properly left alone
- res.partner.address_get() now defaults to the partner being looked up rather than company when no match is found at all and no "default" exists. This avoids losing the contact info on invoices when a new contact+company pair is created.
- the embedded contact creation mini-form was updated to include the address fields and the `type` field
- res.partner.name_get now return "Company, Contact" rather than "Contact (Company)" to make it clearer that the company is selected as well.
- Added warning message when changing the Company of a Contact that already has a company, so it is clear that it should only be done if the Company was incorrect - in other cases a new contact must be created under the new company.
- Fixed search domains using "child_of" to also include deactived records, so that using this operator in the search view of business documents returns the expected results.
- fixed propagation of "is_supplier" flag when creation a parent company for a contact created on the fly on a Purchase Order, and when adding contacts to an existing Supplier Company

Now that res.partner.child_ids has an extra domain
attribute the exact number of parameters of queries
using `child_ids` in the WHERE clause is different.

This is more consistent with the way we expect reporting
to work, and will also ensure that these companies
appear right above their contacts in search order
(which will match name_get)

This is necessary for 2 reasons:
- when searching on Business documents the search domain will be
[('partner_id', 'child_of', 'ACME')] in order to match all
descendants, and it must match inactive children as well
- in other cases like for resolving IDs to update via store
triggers, it is necessary that 'child_of' returns inactive
children too.
The implementation is tricky because the ORM automatically
transform 'child_of' domains into recursive searches with
[('parent_id', 'in', ids)], which is the same query that the
reverse one2many 'child_ids' will also use to find contacts.
The overridden search() therefore matches this domain pattern
only when there is one criterion (to avoid side-effects in
other cases) and a dummy extra 'domain' was added to the
definition of the 'child_ids' o2m so it won't match.
The net result is that child_ids will not return inactive
children while child_of will return all descendants when
it is the only criterion. This is the expected behavior
whenever child_of is used on res.partner, because
it's safer to always show business documents.
The only side-effects will be for custom/manual search
calls with a single criterion of the form ('parent_id','in', x)
and those can be fixed by adding an extra domain
component ('active','=',True), just like child_ids does.

The name `commercial_partner_id` better reflects its
purpose and the fact that it is a FK to a partner.
An extra indirection through a lambda function was
also added to the definition of the function field
to make it possible to override it in other modules
(otherwise the function is passed by copy directly
and cannot be inherited later)

This prevents hiding real data and also allows creating more
complex/flexible structures by setting the values of these
fields before or after setting is_company, to reach the
desired result.

This is not necessary for the `is_customer` flag, as it is
always True by default (customers are created more frequently).
Passing the field value via an invisible field in the mini
contact form is necessary because context `default_*` values are
automatically discarded by the ORM when creating o2m
or m2m records (as they are supposed to apply to a different model).

- res.partner must prevent creating loops in partner
hierarchies, and this can be done easily with an
extra _constraint using the ORM's builtin _check_recursion
- _check_recursion's implementation incorrectly
assumed that the provided 'ids' were unrelated
(not part of a common hierarchy).
- add tests for _check_recursion via extra
tests on res.partner structure
(explains why both patches are in the same
commit)

super() finds the MRO parent of the provided class to resume the
execution chain from there, so the class being defined should be
provided.
Here view called super(osv.osv, self).create so if osv.osv (Model) had
a create() defined (which luckily it does not) it would've been
skipped.

We should never turn the `use_parent_address` option on
unless the user explicitly wants to use it. It makes
further editing more convoluted (need to go to the
company address) and is really an advanced feature.
It was only set by via context defaults when adding
contacts to a company ; we can replace that with a
set of defaults that will copy the company address
fields to the contact. Users can still switch to
automatic synchronization if they really want it,
or simply further edit the address of the contact.
Also fixed the layout of the mini-form view, now
using a simpler vertical layout with address at
bottom, since the main info of a contact needs
to be entered first.

It is valid to use the parent address but still set a different
type of address - the name, email, phone, etc. could be different.

Using the commercial entity is not a very good default choice
in many cases. If a new contact is created on-the-fly for a
new document (e.g. sales order), his/her company may be an
empty shell and/or a large corporation that should not be
directly used for e.g. billing/invoicing purposed.
Once a contact/company is set to "invoicing" or "delivery"
we use it, but in other cases we stick to the provided
partner/contact as a saner default.
This should not change anything for cases where advanced
contact management is used and proper address types are
set.

* Commercial fields (bug 1160365)
Fix autosync of accounting/invoicing-related fields on contacts,
just as if they were actually modeled as fields.related to the
parent commercial entity.
This starts with the addition of the new functional field
`commercial_id`, to locate the commercial entity for any partner.
The commercial entity is defined as the first ancestor (starting
at the partner itself) that is either marked `is_company` or has
no parent. [This is Part A of the solution on bug 1160365].
Then, whenever a partner is created or modified:
- if it is a commercial entity, the commercial fields are synced
downstream to all its descendants, stopping at company boundaries.
- if is is not a commercial entity, the commercial fields are
synced from its parent commercial entity.
The list of fields to sync is determined by calling the new
res.partner method `_commercial_fields()` which can be easily
extended by any module that adds commercial fields on res.partner.
A utility method `open_commercial_entity()` was added to
res.partner to make it easy to include a button for editing the
parent commercial entity, to be displayed instead of now-hidden
commercial fields.
[This is part B of the solution on bug 1160365]
The res.partner.address_get() method (used to find child partners
of certain types, e.g. "invoice") was udpated to take the new
"commercial entity" notion into account: it will now look for
matches in children but also parents and siblings that are part
of the same "commercial entity". The default partner `type` is
now "contact" to reflect the new model ; "default" is
inappropriate because it is a wildcard and would stop the type
lookup early.
[This composes parts C and D of the solution on bug 1160365]
Note: This fix comes with a matching addons fix to implement
module-specific extensions of part B, as well as part E of the
solution.
* Address fields (bug 1160425)
Corrected autosync of address fields is also included in the
same branch, because those two mechanisms are closely related
and share some parts of the implementation.
The `use_parent_address` field now defaults to False (except
in the mini-kanban view of contacts on a partner form), and
the autosync of address fields has been modified to only work
downstream and never update a parent company if a child contact
is modified. Instead, the address fields are now displayed
readonly on contacts that use the parent address, with a button
to edit the parent address (new method open_parent(), similar
to open_commercial_entity() but opening the direct parent).
To make the initial creation of a contact + company pair,
a special case was added: when a new contact is created for
a company that has no other contact and no address, the
address of the contact is assumed to be that of the company
so it is moved to the company, then the `use_parent_address`
flag is enabled on the contact, and the `is_company` flag on
the company. This covers a use case where contact and
company are created on-the-fly when creating a new document.
Many logical flaws in the autosync of address fields have been
corrected and are now covered by unit tests.
* Misc related fixes
- checking `is_company` does not reset the parent_id field
anymore, to allow for multi-level structures. The field is
still hidden automatically because having an empty "Company"
field on the form view of a company is quite suprising), but
this UI behavior is easily customized;
- the `email`, `phone`, `fax`, `mobile`, `lang`, etc. that
were sometimes synced when changing parent company are now
properly left alone;
- the `use_parent_address` field is now always visible next
to the parent_id field when a parent is set

* when writing an empty value to ADDRESS_FIELDS, that value
should also be propagated by update_address()
* when creating a contact from a company form view, even with
'use_company_address', company's contact address remains empty. We
now force adding missing address fields uppon creation when default
'use_company_address' is True.
