This adds support for updating records in place, using new `update` methods added to the record and record manager base classes. The `update` method has the same smart evaluation of field names based on record classes that the `create` method has. This allows ID or object field names to be used for model refs, and field aliases.
Add a new manager for attachment records (`ir.attachment`) in Odoo. These are intended to be used for uploading/downloading attachments to/from invoices. Invoice attachments will then be attached to invoice emails sent out to customers. The contents of the attachments won't be fetched when querying them from Odoo by default; instead it is intended that the separate `download` method be used to download the attachment contents separately. An `upload` method is also available, to provide an easier to use interface for uploading attachments.
Remove the OpenStack Odoo Client for Python's usage of the OdooRPC library, and replace it with direct JSON RPC requests made internally using the `httpx` library. Functionally, the most important change here is that we now do our own JSON encoding and decoding. This allows us to decode non-integer numbers as `Decimal` objects instead of floats, ensuring that number handling is as accurate as possible (on the client side anyway, Odoo still stores them as floats unfortunately). There are other benefits, such as performance improvements from avoiding OdooRPC's ORM abstractions and other additional processing we don't need.
