Replace head_title with Kicker

[iFlameing]

@davisagli I don't know how to create an alias for headtitle. can you please take care of it?

[mister-roboto]

@iFlameing thanks for creating this Pull Request and helping to improve Plone!

TL;DR: Finish pushing changes, pass all other checks, then paste a comment:

@jenkins-plone-org please run jobs

To ensure that these changes do not break other parts of Plone, the Plone test suite matrix needs to pass, but it takes 30-60 min. Other CI checks are usually much faster and the Plone Jenkins resources are limited, so when done pushing changes and all other checks pass either start all Jenkins PR jobs yourself, or simply add the comment above in this PR to start all the jobs automatically.

Happy hacking!

@iFlameing I think we need to:

1. Create IKicker like you did already
2. Add IHeadTitle = IKicker in Python (so the old name still works if someone is importing it)
3. Register 2 behaviors, the old one and the new one. I don't think there's an easy way to avoid this, since one behavior can only have one name.

@davisagli I added the head title once again but I haven't tested it because I don't know how to test it. Also, it is a breaking change. where and how I should mention it?

I added the head title once again but I haven't tested it because I don't know how to test it.

@iFlameing For starters, look at the result of the existing tests, which are failing. It looks like it is a problem to have 2 behavior registrations for the same interface, and here it is the same object even though it has an alias. To fix this, define IHeadTitle as a subclass of IKicker:

class IHeadTitle(IKicker):
    """alias for backwards-compatibility"""

Next, test this change with our customer project. You can pip install this branch from github (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/). If our backwards-compatibility efforts are successful, everything in that project should still work even if you don't change the content types to use the new behavior.

Also, it is a breaking change. where and how I should mention it?

1. Update the readme where it discusses the head title behavior
2. Mention the new title of the field in the changelog. I think we decided we can call this one a bugfix.

@iFlameing do you have time to look into this during the week? I would love to start using this for our different Plone distribution projects.

[davisagli]

I think we should keep the existing translations for "head title"; it's better than removing the translations.

[iRohitSingh]

I think that it is automatically updated once we removed the text. Translation is automatically deleted.

@davisagli @tisto I have created a new pr in favour of this #163
