Feature: validation column config

[louisdorard]

What's changed

New "Feedback columns" section in the visual webapp settings, to configure validation and notes columns. Previously, they needed to be created upstream and to be named in a fixed/specific way, which was impractical and error-prone.

• "Validation column" setting: tickbox to choose to add a Boolean validation column.
• Text field to enter a name for this column. This is only a display name to be used in Tabulator. The actual column name will always be validated, and its type will be "boolean_tick".
• "Notes" column setting. Same idea as the above, with a Textual column. The actual column name will always be notes and its type will be "textarea".

Other improvements:

• Added a metadata column to the edits datasets: last_edited_by.
• Added all metadata columns to edited datasets (last_edited_date, last_edited_by, last_action, first_action).
• Added documentation to replay and apply edits methods

Bug fixes:

• Fixed bug with boolean editable columns (which includes validation column): missing values were transformed into True!

How to switch to this new version of the plugin

In all projects that use validation columns...

• In the Visual Webapp: remove previous validation column name from editable columns.
• In the Flow
  • Change your editlogs to use "validated" instead of the validation column name that was previously used.
  • Remove upstream recipe/step previously used to create a validation column.
  • Build all datasets downstream.
• In the Visual Webapp: add to settings that validation column is required. Add the display name that you were previously using.

@fabienDaou need your help to update Gherkin tests:

• Take into account that edits and edited datasets have additional columns.
• Update edit.reviewed.feature: validation column is now always called validated

• Regarding the names of the column, I would make them less prone for conflicts with customers dataset. You could name them: _visual_edit_validated & _visual_edit_notes for ex
• What do you mean by "Added all metadata columns to edited datasets (last_edited_date, last_edited_by, last_action, first_action)."?

• Smart!
• I mean that these columns were only found in the edits dataset, but I realized that it would be useful to also have them in the edited dataset.
