Previously, when a user viewed the question bank, if the quiz statistics
had not already been calculated, we would try to compute them there an then.
This could be very, very slow, leading to session lock problems.
Now, we never try to compute the statistics on the fly. Instead, we rely
on the existing \quiz_statistics\task\recalculate scheduled task to do it.
There is a new method on the column class, for the column to declare any
statistics it requires. The question then efficiently loads all those
statistics in one go, and makes them available as the columns are
rendererd, or do any subsequent processing.
The used the exist in Moodle up to 3.11, but then was removed with
insufficient thought in 4.0 (because we had grander long-term plans
which still have not happened). Until those plans happen, this
commit adds the simple link back on the preview screen.
When questions are filtered by tags in the question bank, the qtagids
params are passed in the array format. Though moodle_url handles this,
single_button::export_for_template cannot. Hence changes done in
weblib.php to provide params for export_for_template in the
suitable format.
Thanks Huong. I have added the Behat test you provided in the patch.
In PHP 8.2 and later, setting a value to an undeclared class property is
deprecated and emits a deprecation notice.
So we need to add missing class properties that still need to be declared.

I thought about renaming the class to just plain attempt, but I
acutally think quiz_attempt makes it clearer what this is. Also
not changing the name massively reduces the pain for everyone
updating their code (including me right now!)
This part of the code in 'question_category_object.php' 'update_category' method was used before Moodle 4.0 version for renaming
the random questions in an updated category. For Moodle 4.0 and later versions, it is unnecessary as the details of
random questions are no more stored in 'question' table but in 'question_set_references' table.
The method call move_question_set_references handles the same.
