Subject: [PATCH] Add external_name to account.move.line_ids view

We need to display the field as invisible here although it
is already defined on invoice_line_ids tree above. Having it
defined only there would only set the external_name key with its
value inside the invoice_line_ids key of the values dictionary
that is passed to create function. However, this invoice_line_ids
key is popped in account.move._move_autocomplete_invoice_lines_create
function to keep only the line_ids to create the account.move and
avoid duplicated account.move.line records.
