This patch replaces all homegrown timezone
stuff with standard PHP date/time code.
The main change is the introduction of core_date
class that returns normalised user and server
timezones. From now on nobody should be using
$CFG->timezone or $user->timezone directly!
Other new features and fixes:
* admins are prompted for timezone during install
* editing of other users is finally fixed
* timezones are displayed in user profile
* new $this->setTimezone() in phpunit
* time locale is now automatically reset in phpunit
* timezone is now automatically reset in phpunit
* phpunit has Australia/Perth as default timezone
While integrating I noticed some problems which already existed in this
test:
* The enrolment data generator was not used
* The student roleid was hardocded
* The role assignment was at site level..
For statslib tests was enough to require cronlib.php as
far as all the tests there are using ob-capture / output
expectations, so the new function does not bork anything.
For pluginlib tests finally the use was deleted because
it's a part of cron not interesting (should be always "cheap")
and to keep it there we should be adding a bunch of output
expectations under some cases, for practically nothing.
