[FIX] web: ActionManager: handle false actions

Server actions return an action to execute, or false. When they
return false, an 'ir.actions.act_window_close' must be executed,
such that the current dialog closes (if any) and mostly, the
'on_close' handler is executed, which ensures for example that the
current view is reloaded.

The case where server actions return false has been broken by rev.
32b8cec53. It produced tracebacks in several models, when clicking
on some actions in the 'Action' dropdown. For instance, in lunch,
go to Configuration > Products, open one in a form view, and click
on 'Lunch: Archive/Restore products' in the Action dropdown.
