merge from 3.19 branch

[entity/rset] replace scary warnings about ambiguous rdefs by XXX in the code users can't do anything about that and shouldn't see those warnings.

[web/js] Deprecate baseuri() and replace with BASE_URL (closes #3955372) Added by commit 8bf2337a6f3b and publicly available since 3.11.2 released more than 3 years ago.

[request] Ensure base_url() always has a trailing '/' (closes #3955093) Just as an example, cubicweb.ajax.js is clearly written under the assumption that BASE_URL/baseuri() - which simply contains req.base_url() - has a trailing /.

[schema] spelling fixes in doc strings

[views] a 'div' with 'display: inline' screams 'span'

[views] Rewrite cw.utils.formContents() with jQuery (closes #3747244) Use jQuery's serializeArray() method instead. Just keep a bit of compatibility with FCKEditor...

[web/data] Remove broken backward compatibility function popupLoginBox() was deprecated in favor of cw.htmlhelpers.popupLoginBox() However, the use of cw.utils.deprecatedFunction() is broken. In firebug: >>> popupLoginBox() TypeError: newfunc is undefined cubicweb.js:113 (ligne 13) This function was modified back in 2010, so it's been broken for 4 years. Let's just get rid of it. Closes #4042978

[repoapi] make ClientConnection call RequestSessionBase's init Not calling up means we're missing some attributes, like encoding.

[webtests/views_staticcontrollers] use the new connection api

[webtests/views_selectors] use the new connection api

[webtests/views_json] use the new connection api

[webtests/views_errorform] use the new connection api

[webtests/views_actions] use the new connection api

[webtests/views_xmlrss] use the new connection api

[webtest/pyviews] use the new connection api

[tests/sqlutils] use the new connection api

[tests/postgres] use the new connection api

[tests/repository] use the new connection api (part 2/2) Some notes: * module imports cleanup * the unimplemented `test_transaction_interleaved` is wiped

[repository,tests] use the new connection api (part 1/2) `add_info` should not play with the cnxset nor the mode. Static analysis showed that: * add_info is an internal api called with a non-none cnx.cnxset and also in write mode * only the altered test violated this assumption, which is now somewhat documented

[book] fix various parts of the rql section * syntax error * erroneous query * bad sphinx :func: usage

[repository] session -> cnx renaming (already done in the source object)

[tests/session] remove unused import

[tests/datafeed] use the new connection api

[tests/checkintegrity] use the new connection api * serverctl: the db-check command also uses an internal connection object, which makes more sense in the context of `checkintegrity`. * checkintegrity: rename srvcnx to just cnx (a bit because in the near future, there will be one cnx to rule them all)

[tests/schemaserial] kill star import

[tests/schemaserial] break long lines

[tests/ldap] don't leak sessions

[tests/ldap] use the new connection api

[web] Remove unreachable and broken code

[testlib] call init_config once the config has been properly bootstraped This should be done right after repository instantiation and as such involves giving CWTC.init_config as a callback to the test database handler (which will itself gives it to the repository initialization function). This unfortunatly requires to pass the init_config method to the server.init_repository function because it has to be called after the config has been initialized (which is done in Repository.__init__) but before the migration handler is instantiated (which will call 'server_maintainance' hook, hence may require the proper config). Another way to fix this would be to change the initialization sequence, but this is another story. Closes #3749378
