The enabled state of a plugin is a tri-state value (boolean or
null). We should be consistent with elsewhere by only considering
boolean false as an actually disabled plugin.
See also cdcb53a1 for similar change in task management.
Allow adhoc tasks to implement this method, so they too can have
descriptive names for themselves. Default implementation added to
return the class name itself.
When defining settings that are used by scheduled tasks,
it is also useful, or even needed, to know the status
of that scheduled task to have the whole big picture of
that part of the system.
Based on the admin_setting_description, this new setting
reports its name, its status, a link to the configuration.
When adding a new setting of this type, the user can add
an extra description field to complete the whole meaning.
Centralise management of all types of cron tasks with registration, scheduling,
parallel task conflicts(blocking) and running once off tasks, all using an
administration screen.
This is a combination of several issues:
MDL-25502: Added "black magic" task allocator for cron
MDL-25503: Add step to cron to run all scheduled tasks
MDL-25504 cron: Refactor to use scheduler
MDL-25505: Add an admin interface to schedule tasks via cron.
MDL-25507: Add support for adhoc tasks.
