Merge lp:~numerigraphe-team/openobject-addons/6.1-analytic-entry-without-general-account into lp:openobject-addons

[Lionel Sausin - Initiatives/Numérigraphe]

I'm resubmitting this branch unchanged for inclusion in v8.

The manual for analytic accounts states[1] : "Each analytic entry can be linked to a general account, or not, as you wish. Conversely, an entry in a general account can be linked to one, several, or no corresponding analytic accounts."
But the field 'general_account_id' is defined as "required=True" in account/account_analytic_line.py
I suggest that this requirement should be relaxed to allow greater flexibility in analytic accounting.

This branch was forked off v6.1.0 but it merges cleanly into the current trunk.
I has already been accepted in the community backport v7.0 on 2013-08-21
