[REM] *: calls to @api.multi

Multi is the default api for methods, it is not necessary to explicitly
decorate methods with it, adds clutter and most people use it because
they see that the rest of the code uses it.

Done with `find . -type f -name '*.py' | xargs sed -i '/@api.multi/d'`

 :func:`~odoo.api.model_create_multi` will always be called with a list of dicts.
