MDL-79912 backup: Create Course reuse index page
The backup/view.php page has been created to display the list of
course reuse actions available for users.
That way, the "Course reuse" option in the secondary navigation
will display this page instead of redirecting to the first action
available.

Apart from that, the headers for all the Course reuse actions have
been homogenised and the tertiary navigation selector has been included,
to replace headers and make it easier navigate between actions.

29df52af19 MDL-74548 backup: Refactor course copies
This patch modifies the way copy data is shared in order to mitigate potential race conditions
and ensure that the serialised controller stored in the DB is always in a valid state.

The restore controller is now considered the "source of truth" for all information about the
copy operation. Backup controllers can no longer contain information about course copies.

As copy creation is not atomic, it is still possible for copy controllers to become orphaned or
exist in an invalid state. To mitigate this the backup cleanup task has been modified to call
a new helper method copy_helper::cleanup_orphaned_copy_controllers.

Summary of changes in this patch:

    - Copy data must now be passed through the restore controller's constructor
    - base_controller::get_copy has been deprecated in favour of restore_controller::get_copy
    - base_controller::set_copy has been deprecated without replacement
    - core_backup\copy\copy has been deprecated, use copy_helper.class.php's copy_helper instead
    - backup_cleanup_task will now clean up orphaned controllers from copy operations that went awry

Thanks to Peter Burnett for assiting with testing this patch.

01436f7539 MDL-64843 Backup: Course copy user interface
This patch adds better core support for copying courses.
There is now a simplified and dedicated UI for copying
courses. This can be accessed from the course context
menu or course management screens.

All backups are done asynchronously and there can be multiple
copies of a course in flight at once.
