t-call-context is a feature that's supposed to mask the rendering
context completely, but currently the component remains available
through `this`.
This commit stops treating `this` as a reserved word, so that it's
compiled to a lookup in the rendering context, and adds `this` to the
rendering context when binding the component's rendering function. With
these changes, `this` behaves the same as before when outside a
t-call-context, but when the rendering context is overriden, the
template can no longer access `this`. `this` still represents the
instance of the component inside of the rendering function since it's
needed by owl internally.
A side-effect of this change is that now the rendering context is no
longer the instance of the component by default, but is always an object
with the component in its prototype chain. This was already the case
before in some contexts (eg inside t-foreach, or inside components with
a t-set/t-call anywhere in its template). This can cause issues in rare
cases when a component method was called directly on the rendering
context, as before this change, the method's bound this would be the
component instance (except in a t-foreach, component with a
t-set/t-call, etc), while after this change it is now never the
component instance. When the method only reads on `this` there is no
issue as all the components properties are available on the rendering
contexts, but setting a value on `this` will write on the rendering
context and not the component which is likely a mistake.
While this is a breaking change, simply adding a t-set/t-call to any
template would break components that would be broken by this change,
with this in mind we decided to make this change anyway so that
developers get the error as early as possible in the development cycle
rather than having a seemingly inocuous change break code under them.
The `useEffect` has two parameters:
* The `effect` function
* The `computeDependencies` function
The `effect` function always take as parameters the result
of the `computeDependencies` function.
Expliciting this allows to better understand the `useEffect`
behaviour and the following example in the doc:
```
useEffect(
(el) => el && el.focus(),
() => [ref.el]
);
```
In app.js, `mount(Root, document.body, { dev: true, env });` crash because `body` is not available yet.
Therefore, moving the script into the body fix the issue.
This commit add supports for value types in prop validation. To describe
a value V type, one has to simply write {value: V}.
Note that this commit also improves the validation typing.

The props validation code is actually quite difficult to get right.
Also, it is sometimes useful to be able to validate an object against a
specified schema. Therefore, this commit exports the standalone validate
function as an utility function.
Previously, components would automatically call useState on their props,
so that changes deeply within props would automatically cause the
component to be rendered. This can be useful when passing a piece of
state to children or descendants.
One problem with this is that all props implicitly become reactive, even
if the object that was passed as a props was not. The problem with that
being that since the original object is not reactive, any change made by
the parent will not go through the reactivity system and the children
won't be notified of the change, in essence, this reactive object is
essentially useless, while having a real cost: traversing reactive
objects creates more reactive objects, and those objects are all
proxies. This is expensive for basically no benefit, while also making
it more difficult to debug code that involves those objects.
This commit fixes that by only calling useState on objects that are
already reactive, allowing the usecase described in the first paragraph
without the drawbacks described in the second.
The Context api was retired in owl 2.0, but a documentation file was
kept alive. This commit removes it, to prevent confusion in the future.
Thanks zerone40 for the issue

With this commit, we make sure that the `render` method was explicitely
called with the deep === true argument, instead of assuming that it is a
boolean. This prevents errors when some unrelated value is given to the
render method. This could happen in some cases, such as
useBus(someBus, 'someevent', this.render)
In that case, the `useBus` code would simply call the this.render with a
customevent, which would be considered truthy before, and not anymore
This commit adds a warning when an async hook
(onWillUpdateProps/onWillStart) takes longer than 3 seconds, as these
hooks block the rendering and patching of the application, it is rarely
desirable and often a sign of a deadlock. This warning will contain the
stack trace of the call to the hook to help in debugging.
