The previous behaviour guessed the table filterset based on the table's
class name, but this is not very flexible if you wish to create an
abstract table class and use a generic filter for all implementations.
This change adds the ability to specify the filterset class, with the
default behaviour using the table class name as a prefix.
A new grunt task, upgradablelibs, has been added in order to get the
list of libraries that have a newer version in their repositories.

If for any reason a Redis session lock is not being released, all subsequent
requests will wait to acquire the lock, forcing them to time out eventually.
This will happen till the original lock finally expires after the session timeout.
This sets the Redis session lock expiry time to whatever is lower,
either the PHP execution time `max_execution_time`, if the value was
defined in the `php.ini` or the globally configured `sessiontimeout`.
Setting it to the lower of the two will not make things worse it if the
execution timeout is longer than the session timeout.
For the PHP execution time, once the PHP execution time is over, we can
be sure that the lock is no longer actively held so that the lock can
expire safely. Although at `lib/classes/php_time_limit.php::raise(int)`,
Moodle can progressively increase the maximum PHP execution time, this
is limited to the `max_execution_time` value defined in the `php.ini`.
For the session timeout, we assume it is safe to consider the lock to
expire once the session itself expires.
If we unnecessarily hold the lock any longer, it blocks other session
requests.

Simple JSON reader which takes an issuer and reads its metadata. The
class is aware of request-centric rules, such as:
- The position of the well known suffix in the URL (per RFC8414)
- The requirement to have HTTPS auth server issuer URL
- The validity of query strings, paths and fragments in the auth server
issuer URL
,but makes no attempt to validate the config JSON returned.
