In the quiz reports, for any 'Never submitted' attempt, there is
now a 'Re-open' button next to where it says the attempt state.
If that is clicked, there is an 'Are you sure?' pop-up. If the user
continues, the attempt is reopened. If the student now has time left,
the attempt is put into the In progress state. If there is not time
left the attempt is immediately submitted and graded. The
'Are you sure? pop-up says which of those two things will happen.
These new settings are designed to enchance user privacy surrounding
groups. They allow groups to be configured so that users outside the
group cannot see the group, so that users in the group cannot see each
other, or so that users cannot see the group at all, even if they are in
it. This avoids issues where a group may be assigned based on sensitive
personal information (such as a person requiring special arrangements
due to a disability).
By default, groups are visible to all and available for participation in
activities, which maintains the current behaviour.
For performance, a new cache has been added to track the number of
groups on a course that are not visible to non-members. This allows us
to revert to the existing behaviour if the new features are not being
used at all on a course, and only apply the new visibility conditions if
they are.
Users who have the moodle/course:viewhiddengroups capability should be
concious of exposing hidden groups when showing their screen to other
users. The "Switch role to..." feature can be used to show a course page
on screen without exposing private availability conditions, for example.
The changes cover several specific areas:
* grouplib functions, which most code should use to get lists of groups
and members (this includes the participants page).
* Activities supporting group overrides will not allow overrides for
groups that are hidden from all users.
* Activities supporting separate/visible groups modes will only allow
groups with the new "participation" flag enabled to be selected.
* Group messaging will be disabled for groups where members cannot see
each other, or cannot see the group at all.
This is very similar to MDL-77090, but at the time, I missed that this
also needed to be handled. (Question metadata is, I think, only used
by the quiz 'Try another question like this one' feature.)
In PHP 8.2 and later, setting a value to an undeclared class property is
deprecated and emits a deprecation notice.
So we need to add missing class properties that still need to be declared.

Probably from historical reasons and because of layout of former Moodle
versions the container the feedback is situated in has 70% width and is
indented. In nowadays themes this looks weird and gives visual inconsistency.
Changes done to fix access order of attempts that need manual grading.
Changed button text from 'Save and go to next page' to 'Save and show next' to improve UI.
quiz_settings::create() requires at least 3 DB queries, so the point is
that we can avoid doing that until after we have worked out if we need
to calculate statistics for this quiz.
Also, we order the list of quizzes to consier, to process the ones with
more recent attempts first.
