[REM] multi from ir.actions.act_window

Task 1843603

* src_model is redundant with binding_model_id
* multi -> binding_view_types (if empty => all views) (maybe should be
empty by default yo?)
* in convert, type => rec.get(type) but no @type possible on <act_window>...
* removed deprecated auto_refresh & auto_search (not used anywhere (?))
