Review the API for get_table_summary()

I did #5685 (Review the API for get_table_summary(). The following tables had a customized Actor.get_table_summary() method, which I converted to Actor.table_as_summary():

• lino_avanti.lib.courses.PresencesByEnrolment

• lino.mixins.dupable.SimilarObjects

• lino.modlib.dupable.SimilarObjects

• lino.modlib.notify.MyMessages

• lino_xl.lib.accounting.JournalsOverview

• lino_xl.lib.accounting.VouchersByPartnerBase

• lino_xl.lib.accounting.MovementsByPartner

• lino_xl.lib.blogs.EntriesByController (currently not used anywhere)

• lino_xl.lib.cal.Guests and lino_xl.lib.cal.Events use the same code.

• lino_xl.lib.cv.HistoryByPerson

• lino_xl.lib.cv.LanguageKnowledgesByPerson

• lino_xl.lib.households.SiblingsByPerson

• lino_xl.lib.households.MembersByPerson

• lino_xl.lib.humanlinks.SiblingsByPerson (including an optimization of the presentation)

• lino_xl.lib.phones.ContactDetailsByPartner

• lino_xl.lib.tickets.TicketsByEndUser (which had a bug that was not covered; I fixed the bug and added coverage)

• lino_xl.lib.working.SessionsByTicket

The following table summaries: also have a customized Actor.get_table_summary() method, but I dit not yet convert it to an Actor.table_as_summary():

• lino.modlib.uploads.AreaUploads (I prefer to leave this for later)

• lino_xl.lib.deploy.DeploymentsByTicket (not used anywhere)

• lino_xl.lib.excerpts.ExcerptsByOwner is not used anywhere directly, but inherited by lino_xl.lib.excerpts.ExcerptsByProject. I wonder whether the current implementation is useful in real life.

• lino_xl.lib.polls.AnswersByResponseEditor, lino_xl.lib.polls.AnswersByResponsePrint, lino_xl.lib.polls.ResponsesByPartner, lino_xl.lib.skills.DemandsByDemander, lino_xl.lib.skills.OffersByDemander and a few more.

Side effects:

• lino.utils.AttrDict now supports setting an attribute.

• The Model.overview field didn’t yet support getting a safe html string from Model.get_overview_elems().

• New plugin setting printing.print_demo_objects and model attribute lino.modlib.printing.Printable.print_demo_objects.

• I started to move away from using the ar.html_text() method. Under ExtJS this method wraps the given html fragment into a <div class="htmlText">, which specifies that this fragment contains simple html text inside an ExtJS component. ExtJS does a lot of CSS magic to neutralize the “usual” effects of most html tags. This htmlText class is required to restore a half-way normal look. Under any other front end the ar.html_text() method does nothing. My plan is to add the class="htmlText" unconditionally, also under React.

I reviewed Customize the summary view.
