[trunk] import (csv) projects

[Jacques-Etienne Baudoux]

Hi,

The import of projects is very complex and doesn't work has expected.
The analytic account is not automatically created but a new reference to the analytic account is created in ir.model.data.
Currently, to import a project :
- first import analytic account with a specific module.xml_id
id name
analytic.ABCD ABCD
- import projects and refer to the previously imported analytic account
id name analytic_account_id/id parent_id/id state
project.ABCD ABCD ana.ABCD project.all_projects_account Open

In ir.model.data, you have 3 references:
name module model res_id
ABCD analytic account.analytic.account 172
ABCD project project.project 75
ABCD_account_analytic_account project account.analytic.account 172

It should be possible to create and update projects by importing only 1 csv file. The analytic account should be automatically created as suggested by the third entry created in ir.model.data

probably a problem when calling import_data with models using _inherits.
@jba do you think you could write a test case ?

I tag it with testcase according to the new policy

Import export csv xm yaml import will be refactored in 6.2 with specifications written as test cases and examples.
