make a Dolibarr upgrade.

WARNING: Following changes may create regression for some external modules, but was necessary to make
Dolibarr better:

- Path to save photos of products was moved to match path of other attached files. If you had loose your photo on the photo tab of products, you can set the constant "PRODUCT_USE_OLD_PATH_FOR_PHOTO" to restore old path.

- Triggers *_BUILDDOC are removed. Building a doc is not a business event. For action after creation of a pdf or odt, hook "afterPDFCreation" or "afterODTCreation" must be used instead.
- A lot of pages named fiche.php were renamed into card.php
