Model and field reference in _depends definition

[trinhanhngoc]

    _depends = {}
    """dependencies of models backed up by SQL views
    ``{model_name: field_names}``, where ``field_names`` is an iterable.
    This is only used to determine the changes to flush to database before
    executing ``search()`` or ``read_group()``. It won't be used for cache
    invalidation or recomputing fields.

Example of usage:

    _depends = {
        'account.invoice.report': ['invoice_date', 'partner_id', 'price_subtotal', 'state', 'move_type'],
        'crm.lead': ['partner_assigned_id'],
        'res.partner': ['activation', 'country_id', 'date_partnership', 'date_review',
                        'grade_id', 'parent_id', 'team_id', 'user_id'],
    }

I didn't knew this attribute existed. Now I have something new to study.

Also, in odoo-stubs: _depends: Any in several versions. Shouldn't be changed to _depends: Dict[str, List[str]] ?
