[server] Fixed issue with the adapters cache of a cloned EditedEntity
The adapters' cache of the entity within an EditedEntity used to be copied along
the entity itself during a cloning operation of the EditedEntity. This raises
an issue when the adapters' cache is not empty and contains cached values
linking to transaction-specific data (or the transaction itself). This prevents
the clone EditedEntity being used in a transaction outside the one that created
it.
This change resets the adapters' cache of the new copy so that no cached value
remain. The new copy can then be used in a new transaction afterwards.

Refactoring the CSSs with UI properties
=========================================
Overview
=========
Managing styles progressively became difficult in CubicWeb. The
introduction of uiprops is an attempt to fix this problem.
The goal is to make it possible to use variables in our CSSs.
These variables are defined or computed in the uiprops.py python file
and inserted in the CSS using the Python string interpolation syntax.
A quick example, put in ``uiprops.py``::
defaultBgColor = '#eee'
and in your css::
body { background-color: %(defaultBgColor)s; }
The good practices are:
- define a variable in uiprops to avoid repetitions in the CSS
(colors, borders, fonts, etc.)
- define a variable in uiprops when you need to compute values
(compute a color palette, etc.)
The algorithm implemented in CubicWeb is the following:
- read uiprops file while walk up the chain of cube dependencies: if
cube myblog depends on cube comment, the variables defined in myblog
will have precedence over the ones in comment
- replace the %(varname)s in all the CSSs of all the cubes
Keep in mind that the browser will then interpret the CSSs and apply
the standard cascading mechanism.
