* Implemented a new course and category management page.
* Deprecated the old management interface.
* Unit tests to cover the new API and core functions.
* Behat tests to cover the new interface.
Switching between categories view and edit no longer depend on global editing mode
/course/index.php and /course/category.php do not contain editing code
- Course format may define additional fields (format options) to store for course and each section
- Edit course form allows to edit format-specific options and refreshes their list on format change
- Course format may provide it's own form for editing a section
- Default form for editing section allows to edit all format-specific fields
- Class section_info refactored, it defines magic methods such as __get() to access basic section
information and format-specific options (retrieved only on the first request)
- format_base::update_course_format_options() allows to watch pre-update state of the course,
format_legacy automatically copies the options with the same names between formats

This change adds conditional availability support for sections analagous to
that already available for activities. (Backend, UI, backup/restore.)
In order that this feature does not reduce performance, section cacheing has
also been added using a new course 'sectioncache' field analagous to modinfo.
The new feature integrates with activity availability so that activities
inside sections which are not available are automatically not available
themselves (meaning it works to restrict access).
1. This used to use a complex legacy system which was buggy.
2. It now relies on a new mod/...:addinstance capability for each module.
3. All the legacy code has been stripped out.
4. Old restriction data is upgraded by creating the necessary permission
overrides. Similarly, when old backups are restored, the old settings
are converted to be overrides.
5. The required addinstance capabilities will be added as a separate
commit.
6. There is a developer debug warning about modules that are missing the
addinstance capability, unless they are MOD_ARCHETYPE_SYSTEM mods.
Course create/update/cancel now navigates back to where u came from (namely /course/index.php & /course/category.php).
(except when creating by default in Misc whereby you're sent to Misc where the course was created)
Please forgive me if I have missed converting any output statements. If you do find an output statement that is not formatting correctly please refere to the table I added to this bug in regards to how it should be formatted.
The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
