For backpack connection using OBv2.0, email and password can't be
blank.
This patch adds some extra checks to validate this and displays an
error to the users before trying to connect to the backpack.
Besides, the error displayed when any error is returned by the
backpack (like invalid credentials), has also been improved, to
make it clearer for the users.

This commit adds an additional environment check for the unsupported
PHP 8.1 version to Moodle 3.9.x, 3.11.x and 4.0.x.
It also updates the lang string for unsupported PHP version.

This partially reverts MDL-73270, where some useful environmental
checks and notifications in the admin UI were added to inform
about different parts of Moodle relying on the "unsupported"
php-xmlrpc extension.
Since then, some changes have happened in core, only available
for Moodle 4.1 and up (see the MDL-70889 mini-epic). Namely:
- MNet (SSO, roaming, auth, enrol and Mahara portfolio) are not
using the php-xmlrpc extension anymore, but a pure php library.
- The xmlrpc webservices protocol, has been move from core to
the plugins directory, although it continues using the php-xmlrpc
extension.
Because of that here we are removing all the checks and notifications
related with MNet (not using the extension anymore), but keeping the
webservice plugin ones (still using the extension). Surely if some day the
protocol stops using the extension, we'll be able to remove the
corresponding checks too. But that's future.
Note the associated lang strings have been also removed (not deprecated)
because they were highly specific and hardly reusable:
- xmlrpcmaharaenabled
- xmlrpcmnetauthenticationenabled
- xmlrpcmnetenabled
And very same applies, because MNet doesn't contain anything deprecated
or not supported anymore, hence, straight deletion, to the function:
- mnet_get_deprecation_notice()
Also, related tests using any of the removed stuff above have been deleted.
In the other side, the "check_xmlrpc_usage" continues existing and
being used both by environment checks and admin notifications but,
as commented above, now it only looks for the xmlrpc webservice
protocol now.
For Moodle 4.1 and up, the php-xmlrpc is not needed anymore:
- All the MNet stuff has been moved to use php library (MDL-76055).
- The webservice/xmlrpc has been moved from core to contrib (MDL-76052).
So we just remove the check here. Starting with 4.1, it's not
needed for any core functionality.
Note that the string has been removed, and not deprecated, because it's
a non-generic string, not belonging to core/moodle main lang file, and
hardly reused ever. That fits with the allowed deletions, not requiring
any deprecation.
Of course, the lang removal only has been applied to master (4.1dev).
Older branches still keep it and will be used when checking < 4.1
upgradability.
