Description
As discussed in http://markmail.org/message/d2tpovewhtotukwa the "not empty" field types ("id-ne", "id-long-ne" and "id-vlong-ne") were initially added to implement validations on data. But, because the validations where only implemented in some place like webtools, it contradicts the distinction to be upheld on various layers. So it is better to remove these field types. So we will remove all those field types and will create sub tickets to replace them in entity definitions by corresponding "id" types.
When replacing the "not empty" field types in entity definitions by corresponding "id" types we will add a not-null="true" attribute to "makes the field NOT NULL on the database (like primary key fields)" as explained in "not-null" documentation in fieldtypemodel.xsd. We will finally clean the documentation of the "not-null" in fieldtypemodel.xsd.
