[migration] Test and fix case of addition of an attribute with some serialized constraint
It was crashing on attempt to remove an unexisting constraint. This code may be
removed safely as it's expected to be handled by the constraint removal hook.
Notice that adding a vocabulary on shortpara makes yams change the varchar max
size. This is arguable but not the point of this test, so simply adapt the max
size defined in the schema coherently so we don't have to bother with that at
this point.

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.
