List of changes:
* New OOP API using PHP namespace \core\session\.
* All handlers now update the sessions table consistently.
* Experimental DB session support in Oracle.
* Full support for session file handler (filesystem locking required).
* New option for alternative session directory.
* Official memcached session handler support.
* Workaround for memcached version with non-functional gc.
* Improved security - forced session id regeneration.
* Improved compatibility with recent PHP releases.
* Fixed borked CSS during install in debug mode.
* Switched to file based sessions in new installs.
* DB session setting disappears if DB does not support sessions.
* DB session setting disappears if session handler specified in config.php.
* Fast purging of sessions used in request only.
* No legacy distinction - file, database and memcached support the same functionality.
* Session handler name included in performance info.
* Fixed user_loggedin and user_loggedout event triggering.
* Other minor bugfixing and improvements.
* Fixed database session segfault if MUC disposed before $DB.
Limitations:
* Session access time is now updated right after session start.
* Support for $CFG->sessionlockloggedinonly was removed.
* First request does not update userid in sessions table.
* The timeouts may break badly if server hosting forces PHP.ini session settings.
* The session GC is a lot slower, we do not rely on external session timeouts.
* There cannot be any hooks triggered at the session write time.
* File and memcached handlers do not support session lock acquire timeouts.
* Some low level PHP session functions can not be used directly in Moodle code.
* core_useragent: Introduce is_vendor methods to improve readability
when we are just detecting if a browser is from a vendor, rather than
the exact version
* Remove uncessary browser version checks when we are just detecting
vendors - this makes the intention of our sniffing clearer.
* Remove sniffing for browsers which we do not support, grades/ajax/tinymce
all support modern browsers so there is no need to sniff for them.
This commit moves user agent related functionality out of several
core libraries and combines it into a more manageable class.
All core uses are converted and functions deprecated in favor
of the new class.

This commit moves user agent related functionality out of several
core libraries and combines it into a more manageable class.
All core uses are converted and functions deprecated in favor
of the new class.
This has been introduced in 2.5, so when upgrading from previous versions
make sure we set a default value. Otherwise, we get a notice about it
being undefined when we try to use it (and we always try to use it!).
