Since commit 7e4baf6, some tests were failing non deterministically. It
seems like the root cause for the problem is that the nextTick method
was sometimes completed too early.
From my understanding of the problem, the nextTick method was correct,
however it is running in a jest test, in node, which simulates the
requestanimationframe behaviour, probably not perfectly.
Switching to an alternate implementation, which swaps the setTimeout and
the requestanimationframe seems to be more solid.
Note that this commit had to introduce the nextFrame method as well,
because the animation tests really seems to want to be in the next
frame, not in a callback executed in the same frame, but at the end.

Before this commit, we artificially replaced in the tests the
requestAnimationFrame by a setTimeout, to actually increase the speed of
the tests. However, this is not really a true replacement. For
example, a real setTimeout can come before or after a real
nextAnimationFrame, depending on when/where it is requested.
Also, this change exposed another problem: the nextTick function did a
setTimeout before a nextanimationframe. This is not a problem when
nextAnimationFrame is replaced by a setTimeout, because then all
expectations holds in owl. However, it is wrong: to get to the next
animation frame, we need to request an animation frame, and THEN wait
with a setTimeout.

This could be done by each application, but it does cost only a few
lines of code, and it helps standardizing the Owl ecosystem.
For example, some library (such as o_spreadsheet) needs to mock side
effects, and Odoo also needs to do that, so this prevents duplicated effort.

Big change! This commit introduces an xml function tag to easily define
inline templates.
This is a pretty big change toward single file owl components
