This patch adds asynchronous backup and restore functionality
to Moodle. This is an optional feature and is not enabled by
default. It can be enabled by site administrators.
Asynchronous backup and restores are actioned by the Moodle
adhoc task API. The progress of backup and restores is
displayedin the Moodle UI. Users can also be sent a message
when a backup or restore operation completes via the
Moodle messaging API.
This patch adds new capabilities:
'mod/forum:postprivatereply' - whether a user is able to post private replies; and
'mod/forum:readprivatereplies' - whether a user is able to read private replies.
Private replies are only visible to the intended recipient (the author of
the parent post), the author of the private reply, and those with the
ability to read private replies.
If a post is private then it cannot be replied to further.
By adding the "Search" aria label to a number of elements
any search of "Search" buttons, previously working in other
parts of the UI are not found anymore (because the hidden
ones are found before).
So, moving to click via xpath. Ideally we should be able to
find the target button in an easier, human readable way. But
there aren't many ids, names around to make it easier.
This is a followup of 85f47ba, where we were relaxing
the (new since phpunit 7.x) strict (===) isEqual()
comparison for strings. Copying the explanations for
easier understanding.

Solution here is one of:
a) Return to the previous situation, making the comparison
softer. That can achieved by forcing different types, so
float == string works.
b) Changing APIs (both forms and database return strings) to
perform some conversion to floats. That would make float
comparison (with floats or strings) to work too.
The patch here follows the a) approach. Changing all the internals
for proper float handling sounds excesive when it has been working
perfectly since ever. So we went the easier route, just getting
rid of the new === comparisons when needed by changing expectation
types to float.
