In Odoo 13, the cache middleware was modified to straight hit
`http.root` assuming it's the Odoo root object. When `http.root` is
replaced by a wrapping middleware, the entire thing blows up and shits
the bed.
Patch up by automatically delegating attribute accesses to the wrapped
application (which is probably Root), although why this is not just
folded into Root is getting less and less clear.
Rather than try to fix up various bits where we search & all and
wonder what index we should be using, make the column a CIText.
For mergebot the main use case would be properly handling
delegate=XXX: currently if XXX is not a case-sensitive match we're
going to create a new partner with the new github login and
give *them* delegation, and the intended target of the delegation
isn't going to work correctly.
Also try to install the citext extension if it's not in the database,
and run the database-creation process with `check=True` so if that
fails we properly bubble up the error and don't try to run tests on a
corrupted / broken DB.
Fixes#318
Might eventually extract / generalise, but for now it's simpler to
just do it in runbot_merge's post_load, that way there's no setup
change (just a small bit of configuration), and it's only enabled on
the instances runbot_merge is installed on.
fixes#97, closes#103
