dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
GD PHP extension is now required. Add-ons need to remove $CFG->gdversion tests. The worst case regression is that add-on will think GD is not available.
This commit coverts everything in the codebase to use the new
users_order_by_sql function when sorting lists of users. More details in
the bug.
Note that this does not change places where users are displayed in a
sortable table, and the sort order comes from the table.
