Project Task Customer Reference

Adds an Order Customer Reference field (customer_reference) to project.task so that customer PO/requisition numbers are visible on tasks, capturable via website webforms, and kept in sync with the linked sale order.
Features:
- Task field: customer_reference (Char, not copied on duplication) is added to the task form view and list view (hidden by default, toggleable via the optional-columns menu).
- Auto-populated from sale order: when a task is created automatically from a confirmed sale order (service lines with service_tracking), the task inherits the SO’s client_order_ref as its customer_reference.
- Propagation back to sale order: when customer_reference is set or updated on a task, it is written to client_order_ref on the linked sale order — but only if that field is currently empty, preventing unintended overwrites.
- Website webform support: the field is whitelisted for the website form builder so it appears in the field picker when configuring a webform that creates project.task records.
