Multiselect dialog for getting items

[pratu16x7]

With: frappe/erpnext#8583

Mapping to and from the form (With oldest selected by default):

Quantities of duplicate items are not combined by default, given that they can have different rates.

Make new placeholder:

The dialog filter link fields require to be given as 'setters' (similar to filters; they are used for initial filtering as well) in the map_current_doc arguments:

The setters for all the relevant forms are set in commit frappe/erpnext@fc4cf21

Updates:

• Add date by default in the list view (its most important)

• Check the oldest matching Quotation (or linked document) by default. In most cases, there will be only one related document, so you can save the click.

• Test case for map_docs

• The .js and .py scrub functions can be improved for things like BOM, but apparently abbreviations(BOM, POS) are exceptional cases that could be blacklisted()

• Quotations don't allow for adding items once the table is non-empty (hence, no successive adding).
  
  Perhaps multiselect isn't applicable here.

Hello @pratu16x7 , i finally tested multiselect. I had been create around 100 invoices with this feature. Everything works great. I will suggest one more correction when you find time for that. I found dificult when i have to search several DN. It will be useful to search DN, mark it and select another, and to have 2 selected DN, and still have options to search. Another solution is to create a button ''add'' in the form to insert DN to SI, and form for multiselect stay opened.
Without this you did a great job. This directly produce impact on productivity and Accurate data. We now have precise sales cycle work.

Any update for this? When I select item, and then search another item, my previous selected item are gone.
