Subject: [PATCH] fix: admin group membership on install, and db_name breaking
 the db list

- group_school_administrator now includes base.user_admin, matching
  core Odoo's own convention (see hr.group_hr_manager) - otherwise
  every fresh install requires a manual trip to Settings > Users just
  to see this module's own menus.
- odoo.conf: drop db_name. Found by hand while testing: when db_name
  is set and dbfilter is not, Odoo's list_dbs() returns db_name's
  value verbatim instead of querying postgres, so the database
  selector shows only that one database no matter how many actually
  exist. Silently breaks O9's "swap to the second demo school in
  under five minutes" requirement, which depends on switching between
  multiple real databases.
