Use core functions that are faster for test file creation.
To support large requests for hashes, the core hash function
must support large hashes without recursion. PHP has a default
recursion depth of 100 and long hashes don't support this.
Remove transactions as they create performance problems for larger
courses and doesn't introduce significant benefit for developers.
Performance changes meant the times were much faster, a reasonable
guess was taken on performance of an average machine.
Added course start date for the course generated by the course
generator in order to prevent incorrect date calculations
(i.e. in assignment due dates) when the generated course is reset.
Also:
- Added a soft password for the
newly generated users so we can use
them to log in the site when running
performance tests.
- Added a method to see the courses-users
relation from outside course_backend class.
Moving it to course_backend keeping generic
methods and attributes in backend class.
