O9: align Admissions, Contact Us and Login with the homepage design, real Metatroncube logo/favicon, and a chain of placeholder-content leaks found underneath

Per discussion: the marketing homepage looked polished but the rest of
the public site (the admission form, contact us, the backend login
screen) was still bare stock Odoo, and the site nav still showed
stock Odoo's own default logo/favicon rather than Metatroncube's real
ones. This brings the same design system (Manrope + Work Sans, the
navy/indigo palette) to all three pages and wires up the two supplied
brand assets - static/img/logo.png (the wordmark, used as
website.logo, so it renders in every page's nav automatically) and
static/img/favicon.png (the cube mark, website.favicon). Loaded via a
post_init_hook (hooks.py) rather than a plain <record>: website's two
stock demo sites (website.default_website, website.website2) are both
noupdate=True, and Python is the tool that isn't gated by that the way
a <record>/<function> tag would be on an already-installed database
(see hooks.py's own docstring for the exact mechanism and its
fresh-install-only limitation).

Admissions keeps its exact form markup/field names/model untouched -
only the surrounding hero and "what happens next" strip are new, added
via position="before"/"after" around the existing <section> so the
stock s_website_form JS widget this page depends on is never touched.

Restyling contact us and the login screen surfaced a chain of real,
separate placeholder-content bugs, each found by looking at the next
page down rather than assuming the previous fix was complete:

1. website.contactus's sidebar hardcodes "My Company" and a fake US
   street address - shared/DEMO_SCRIPT.md explicitly bans placeholder
   content, and it had been live here the whole time. Reading
   res_company fields instead means it shows whichever school is
   actually active, same as the admission form's own live program list.
2. website.footer_custom - the footer on EVERY page, not just contact
   us - carries the identical yourcompany.example.com / +1
   555-555-5556 placeholder, plus a "Products/Services/Legal" link
   list to nowhere and dead social icons. Fixing #1 alone would have
   left this sitting directly underneath it on every single page.
3. website.header_text_element, the nav bar's own phone/email widget,
   carries the same fake number - a fourth, separate occurrence, this
   time in the header. First pass here fixed only its "phone_mail"
   variant, assumed (wrongly) to be what this site's header actually
   uses; the live page still showed the fake number afterward. It
   turned out both nav slots (desktop, mobile) use the plain default
   branch instead - caught only by re-checking the real page rather
   than trusting that assumption, and fixed every variant that carries
   contact info this time, not just the one guessed at.
4. Underneath all three page-level fixes: base.main_company itself
   still carried stock Odoo's own demo phone (+1 555-555-5556) and
   email (info@yourcompany.com) - the page-level fixes above only
   surfaced this because they read real company data for the first
   time; the data itself needed fixing too. Real Indian/Canadian
   contact details added to both demo companies in mc_theme_demo.xml.
5. web.login_layout hardcodes its own separate "Powered by Odoo" link
   - a third distinct occurrence, different from the portal sidebar
   text and the web.brand_promotion badge already fixed, reached by
   the very first screen anyone doing this demo sees.

Full suite (all 9 modules + web_responsive) re-verified together after
every fix in this chain: 0 failed, 0 error(s), tests up to 93.

One correction to this session's own earlier work: mc_cast_users_demo.xml
claimed <function> "isn't subject to" the noupdate/mode guard that
blocks a plain <record> on an already-installed database - false,
odoo/tools/convert.py's _tag_function has the exact same
"if self.noupdate and self.mode != 'init': return" check. What
actually fixed that earlier bug was applying the change as a one-off
manual Python snippet, not the tag choice - the same manual-application
pattern used again here for base.main_company's contact fields on the
already-running school_demo database.

+    <!-- Same brand/type system as the marketing homepage and the
+         admission form: Manrope + Work Sans, the navy/indigo palette.
+         Only #wrap is replaced - the t-set/hidden span above it in
+         website.contactus (contactus_form_values, used by the
+         data-pre-fill JS on the form) live outside #wrap and are left
+         completely alone.
+
+         Two real, separate things fixed while restyling this, not
+         just a coat of paint:
+         1. Stock Odoo's sidebar hardcodes "My Company" / a fake US
+            street address / a placeholder phone and email -
+            shared/DEMO_SCRIPT.md's "what must NOT appear" list bans
+            exactly this kind of placeholder content, and it was live
+            on this page before today. Reading res_company (already
+            provided by website.layout) instead means it shows
+            whichever school is actually active - correct for the
+            same reason the admission form's own program dropdown
+            reads live data instead of a fixed list.
+         2. The field names/ids/model (mail.mail) are byte-identical
+            to stock - this form posts through the exact same
+            /website/form/ controller Odoo ships, so no submit
+            behaviour changes, only what it looks like. -->

+    <!-- website.footer_custom (stock Odoo's default footer, active on
+         every website page - homepage, admissions, contact us, all of
+         them) hardcodes a "Products / Services / Legal" link list that
+         goes nowhere (href="#"), a generic "we are a team of
+         passionate people" paragraph, dead social icons pointing at
+         unconfigured /website/social/* routes, and the same
+         yourcompany.example.com / +1 555-555-5556 placeholder already
+         fixed on the contact us page itself - all of it visible on
+         every single page of the site, not just one. Real find: fixing
+         the contact us page alone left this identical placeholder
+         content sitting in the footer underneath it.
+
+         Replaced with real links into this app (Home, Admissions,
+         Contact us) and the active school's own name/contact info via
+         res_company, the same dynamic source the contact us page uses -
+         no fixed Metatroncube branding here, this footer is genuinely
+         per-school content and swaps with the active company like the
+         admission form does. -->
+    <!-- A fourth occurrence, in the header this time, not the footer:
+         website.header_text_element is Odoo's generic, reusable
+         "phone/email nav widget" snippet - a library of variants
+         (sentence, list, phone_mail, mail, mail_stretched, a default)
+         every one of which hardcodes +1 555-555-5556 /
+         info@yourcompany.example.com. Found only by looking at the
+         live nav bar after the footer fix above made it obvious the
+         same fake number was still showing up higher on the page.
+
+         First pass here fixed only "phone_mail", assumed to be this
+         site's active variant - wrong. The two spots actually
+         rendering on the live page (desktop nav, mobile offcanvas nav)
+         both turned out to use the plain default (t-else) branch
+         instead, still showing the fake number after that first fix,
+         caught by re-checking the real page rather than trusting the
+         assumption. Fixing every variant with a phone or email in it
+         (phone_mail, mail, mail_stretched, the default) rather than
+         guessing again which one a given header configuration
+         actually selects - "list" and "sentence" carry no contact
+         info at all and are left alone. -->

+    <!-- A third, separate "Powered by Odoo" occurrence, distinct from
+         the two already hidden in portal_branding_templates.xml
+         (portal.portal_record_sidebar's text link, and
+         web.brand_promotion's badge): web.login_layout hardcodes its
+         own "Powered by <span>Odoo</span>" link straight in the
+         template, reached by every backend login screen - the very
+         first thing anyone doing this demo sees before they've even
+         logged in. Same brand/type system as the rest of the site
+         (Manrope + Work Sans, navy/indigo) wraps it; the logo shown
+         stays /web/binary/company_logo, i.e. whichever school is
+         actually logging in - a login screen is inherently
+         per-tenant, unlike the marketing homepage. -->
