In this commit, we extend the owl App class to support multiple sub
roots. This is useful for situations where we want to mount sub
components in non-managed DOM. This is exactly what the Knowledge app is
doing, with mounting views in an html editor.
Currently, this requires some difficult and fragile hacks, and still,
the result is that it is very easy to mix components from the main App
and a SubApp. But Knowledge does not actually care about creating a sub
app. It only needs the possibility to mount sub components in dynamic
places.

A template set can now obtain a template by calling the function
getTemplate (if any) received in the initial config.
The returned value can be an Element instance, a template string, a
function (i.e. a compiled template), or null. In the last case, owl will
look into the template set rawTemplates object.
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.
