Add a "Task Name Display" setting on the project, choosing whether its tasks are identified by their number and title (default, current behaviour) or by their number alone. In "Number only" projects the title is hidden and no longer required, so tasks can be identified by their number without carrying a redundant title. The task title is never overwritten, so a task created from an incoming email keeps the mail subject as its title. Also fall back to the task number when a task has no title, instead of computing an empty display name, and keep an untitled task untitled when it is duplicated.

Adds a Task Name Display setting on the project, choosing how its tasks are identified:
This replaces the usual downstream workaround of overwriting name with code and flattening display_name, which destroys the title at the data level — most visibly for tasks created from an incoming email, where Odoo puts the mail subject in the title.
Two related fixes come with it:
name is redefined as not required at model level (a number-only project has no title to require); the requirement moves to the form view, where it applies only to projects displaying the title.
