[FIX] base, partner_autocomplete: remove vat from the partner selection field

Commit a6e1eb9f0ad285fac7d0ca0b9f89f046d78ec9c7
introduced the show_vat context key, that displays the Tax ID of a customer
after its name when present, similarly to show_address.

However it appears on the field when being edited, then disappears at save,
which is confusing.
Other unclean things tended to happen: you would have "name - taxid" on customer
field, but "name" on invoice address and delivery address.
Furthermore a client could edit the name manually to erase the Tax ID, and thus
recreate a new record for the same customer.

We introduce a method to clean the name from the Tax ID, and use it so that it
is directly the client's name that is selected at edit.

Note that we also replace the standard dash in the 'name - taxid'
by a figuredash (‒, U+2012) so as to avoid potential egregious splits
because of legitimate customer names.

Similar to commit: 3cbfc40303dcc4e5f668050326beb6ff014bf72a
(same thing for show_address)
