[FIX] hr_attendance: Keep the kiosk session alive

closes #1800442

Purpose
=======

Odoo sessions are expired when no action has been triggered
for the last 7 days. For kiosk mode, this doesn’t make sense.

It means that once a week, a person with the rights to the
employee under kiosk mode, has to come to the screen and log in again.

Specification
=============

Trigger an action to keep the Odoo session alive.
