1. Implement core_course_get_contents web service
2. Implement callbacks in folder, resource, page and url modules
3. Implement download script for web service
The recent change completely removed support for general URIs and enforced strict URL validation which was breaking backwards compatibility and was not user friendly at all.
This patch finally adds full URI support with basic validation and fixes some older xhtml strict issues.
Please note we do not try to explain the difference between URL and URI to our users. Also keep in mind that mod/url has XSS risk and does not do any security validation of the data.
For modules that still used the 'old' generic object return from _get_coursemodule_info instead of returning a cached_cm_info object, I changed them to use the new format as part of this. This made a few areas of code regarding onclick links slightly nicer.
* Added the component and ratingarea fields and implemented it throughout
the rating API as mandatory fields
* Cleanup rating indexes

* Mark the xxx_get_participants methods as deprecated
* Refactor rate_ajax and ratingsuser_can_view_aggregate methods
* Cleaned up rating/index.php to use html_table object and moved inline styles to CSS.

API.
