Simplepie will try quite aggresively to autodiscover rss feeds by
default. Make this configurable when adding a feed and also store
the autodiscovered location rather than the input location.
I also removed the feed validator as this doesn't make much sense with
feed autodiscovery, and I think we can improve simplepie integration to
do this instead
* Allow multiple roles to be allocated by identity provider
* Allow existing enrolment plugins to manage mnet enrolments

In order to stop 'slow loading feeds' causing performance problems
with standard moodle pages, i've set the timeout for simplepie quite
low. When cron runs i've set this timeout high and cache duration low.
The intention is that cron does all the hard work of connecting to remote
sites and users get this fast fast fast from cache.
However, in the case of adding a feed its probably better to try and get the
feed more agressively..
- Specify default low connect timeout in order that 'interactive' pages are
not slowed down by slow feeds
- Set default cache feed duration of 1 hour
In RSS feed block:
- Try really hard in cron to retreive the feed
- Set the cache duration low in order to help cron refresh the cache
In particular for editing sticky blocks. If the admin addes one at site level,
then the teacher should not be able to change its configuration from
the course page, but should be able to set the position on this page.
- Remove obsolete magpie configuration
- Remove block_rss_client_submitters which has not been used for some
time
- Remove some block_rss_client setup from rsslib.php
This was all in order to do MDL-19889!
* The old tabbed interface is gone.
* The manage feeds UI has been completely rewritten to be a few
separate sane scripts like managefeeds.php, editfeed.php and viewfeed.php
* This is used from both Admin -> plugins -> blocks ... and as a link from the block edit_form.php
* new edit_form.php for the block replacing config_istance.php.
* A lot of stuff to do with UI specific to this block has been removed from rsslib.php
This mostly works now, but ...
* The UI needs further work. In particular we need a non-advanced mode.
* This only works for blocks that use a new edit_form.php to replace config_instance.html.
* .. and so far I have only implemented edit_form.php for the HTML block so far.
* Needs to be enabled (with no block-specific config) for blocks without instance config, so you can control their positioning.
