[ADD] misc: component Portal

The component Portal is used to teleport the content
in its slot as a child of an element
somewhere else in the DOM, usually 'body'

It is designed to be transparent and is just here to do the teleportation task

OwlEvents (with method `Component.trigger`) are redirected from
any Component instanciated within the Portal (and therefore teleported
somewhere else) to the place it would have been without teleportation
i.e. they are re-triggered onto the Portal root node

## Content
- [Portal](#portal)
- [AsyncRoot](#asyncroot)
## `Portal`
### Overview
The component `Portal` is meant to be used as a transparent way to 'teleport' a piece
of DOM to the node represented by its sole `target` props.
This component aims at helping the implementation of the needed infrastructure
for modals (as in `bootstrap-modal`).
### Usage
The content it will teleport is defined within the `<Portal>` node and
internally uses the `default` [Slot](component.md#slots).
This slot must contain only **one** node, which in turn can have as many children as necessary.
The element under which the content will be teleported is represented as a selector
by the `target` props which only accepts a string as value.
The `target` props only supports static selector, and is not meant to be passed to `Portal`
as a variable. Namely, `<Portal target="'body'" />` is the intended use.
By contrast, `<Portal target="state.target" />` is not supported.
The component `Portal` has no particular state, rather it is meant to be a slave to its parent,
and ultimately just a way for the parent to teleport a piece of its own DOM elsewhere.
The `Portal`'s root node is always `<portal/>` and is placed where the teleported content
*would have* been. It is this element that the [teleported events](#expected-behaviors) are re-directed on.
### Example
The canonic use-case is to implement a Dialog, where a Component may choose to break the natural
workflow to help the user put in some data, which it could use later on.
JavaScript:
```js
const { Component } = owl;
const { Portal } = owl.misc;
class TeleportedComponent extends Component {}
class App extends Component {
static components = { Portal, TeleportedComponent };
}
const app = new App();
app.mount(document.body);
```
XML:
```xml
<templates>
<div t-name="TeleportedComponent">
<span>I will move soon enough</span>
</div>
<div t-name="App">
<span>I am like the rest of us</span>
<Portal target="'body'">
<TeleportedComponent />
</Portal>
</div>
</templates>
```
In this example, the `Portal` component will teleport the `TeleportedComponent`'s `div` as a child of the `body`.
`TeleportedComponent` is acting as a Dialog here.
The resulting DOM will look like:
```xml
<body>
<div>
<span>I am like the rest of us</span>
<portal></portal>
</div>
<div>
<span>I will move soon enough</span>
</div>
</body>
```
### Expected Behaviors
The teleported piece is updated as any other `Component`'s DOM and in the same sequence.
Namely the teleported piece will be updated in function of its parents components, and patched as
a normal child.
The [_business_ events](component.md#event-handling) triggered by a child component will be stopped
to not bubble outside of the `target`. They will, on the other hand, be re-directed onto the
`Portal`'s root node and bubble up the DOM as if it were triggered by a regular child component.
Beware that those re-directed events are copies of the original event.
They have:
- The same payload.
- The same `originalComponent` than their original counterpart,
that is the actual Component that triggered it.
- A **different** `target` property than their original counterpart.
The `target` of a re-directed event is necessarily the `Portal`'s root node.
Pure DOM events do not follow this pattern and are free to bubble their natural, unaltered way
up to the `body`.
## `AsyncRoot`
When this component is used, a new rendering sub tree is created, such that the
