The main reason for the semi-random behavior
observed during auto-completion is the
missing ORDER BY clause in the pre-filtering
SQL query.
The ORDER BY clause is expensive but inevitable
if we want to apply a correct LIMIT, otherwise
we would return random `limit` results among
all the possible matches.
The current SQL query seems convoluted due
to the duplicated CASE clause but it
performs slightly better than the equivalent
CTE-based (WITH...) query, so it was preferred.
There is still a chance of returning too
few results due to double limit application,
as further discussed in bug 1203727

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)

- 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)

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.
