[19.0][ADD] sale_order_line_section

[santostelmo]

This module adds a stored Section field on sale order lines.

In standard Odoo, the relation between a line and its section is only implicit:
a line belongs to the nearest previous section according to the order sequence.
This is inconvenient for domains, grouping, reporting, or custom business logic
because there is no direct field to use.

With this module, each non-section sale order line is linked to its nearest
previous section line.

Typical use cases include:

• grouping sale order lines by section in tree views, exports, or reports;
• filtering all lines that belong to a given section without recomputing the
  relation from the sequence;

hi @pedrobaeza could you merge this pr please :)

[Ricardoalso]

You probably need a migration script to compute section_id for all existing records

[pedrobaeza]

More than a migration script, it should be a pre-init hook for avoiding a big delay installing the module in a populated DB with lots of sale.order.line.

@Ricardoalso @pedrobaeza pre-init hook added to create column and populate stored field values via sql

I'm not sure to understand what is the purpose of this module 🤔
Is it to have a different report? To view lines grouped in a search view?
The description might benefit from real use case examples.

I improved the description to better explain the use case of this module

@simahawk can you please have a look. Still any blocking point ?
