Create a new subsystem for communication and create
associated experimental settings to safely use the
new subsystem.

Since PHP 8.2, placing the dollar sign outside the curly brace is deprecated when
the expression inside the braces resolves to a variable or an expression.
Right now we have the information only in docs:
- https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Core_APIs
- https://moodledev.io/docs/apis
And, in fact, we are crawling those pages to get the information
from various tools (moodlecheck, CiBoT...). Obviously, that's far
from ideal, the source only has the current list of APIs, and
there isn't much information there but the names.
So we are moving the source of information to be in core, so it
can be modified between branches, and contains richer information:
- The component the API belongs to, usually a subsystem or core.
- If the API can be used as level 2 namespace.
- If the API can be used as level 2 namespace out from its component.
Note that all that information has NO USES right now in core (and maybe
never will), but tools/checkers will benefit enormously by having that
information at hand, so we can check for namespaces, categories and
other bits way better.
Also, once we have this, the APIs dev documents linked above, surely
can be improved by being automatically generated and include all the
meta-information available.
It also includes a very basic json schema validating the basis. It can
be tried online @ https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net , or any other
tool. PHP requires extra libraries to be able to perform the validation.
Covered with unit tests, both api-related functions and structure validation.
In PHPUnit 9.1, the following file-related assertions
have been deprecated and there are new alternatives for
all them:
- assertNotIsReadable() -> assertIsNotReadable()
- assertNotIsWritable() -> assertIsNotWritable()
- assertDirectoryNotExists() -> assertDirectoryDoesNotExist()
- assertDirectoryNotIsReadable()-> assertDirectoryIsNotReadable()
- assertDirectoryNotIsWritable()-> assertDirectoryIsNotWritable()
- assertFileNotExists() -> assertFileDoesNotExist()
- assertFileNotIsReadable() -> assertFileIsNotReadable()
- assertFileNotIsWritable() -> assertFileIsNotWritable()
This is about to, simply, move all cases to the new alternatives.
Source: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/blob/9.1.0/ChangeLog-9.1.md
Regexp to find all them:
ag 'assertNotIsReadable|assertNotIsWritable|assertDirectoryNotExists|\
assertDirectoryNotIsReadable|assertDirectoryNotIsWritable|\
assertFileNotExists|assertFileNotIsReadable|assertFileNotIsWritable'
All the setup/teardown/pre/post/conditions template methods
now are required to return void. This was warned with phpunit 7
and now is enforced.
At the same time, fix a few wrong function names,
provider data and param types, return statements...
Added static caching of classes to reduce load times and reduce calls to `get_component_classes`
by altering to accept a null component value to search classmap only once.
This commit is part of work on Custom fields API,
to minimize commit history in moodle core the work of a team of developers was split
into several commits with different authors but the authorship of individual
lines of code may be different from the commit author.
These components have no classes and no strings and have no purspose. Component core_hub is responsible
for storing data, defining classes and strings for site registration and course publishing
This also reverts MDL-61945

* fixed assign subplugin uninstall
* move assign subplugins under the assignment in admin tree
* fixed plugininfo for all question related plugin types

* several performance improvements in plugin manager
* new warnigns when plugininfo are outdated or missing
* multiple fixes and other improvements
