1. Improve upgrade note
2. Don't abuse $PAGE to get the current course/cm
3. Use validate_context, never $PAGE->set_context()
4. Reset current coursemodule in validate_context().
5. Respect moodlepageclass when calling an external function.
Fix:
$PAGE->context must be reset when calling validate_context
Improve:
Provide wrapper for calling an external function
The wrapper correctly checks the function parameters and return type against
the description of the external function, and stores the PAGE and COURSE global
state variables, restoring them before the function returns.
Fix: buggy unit tests.
These tests are expecting debugging from a bug that was fixed, and calling web
service functions with no user or session.
The function get_role_users() requires the caller to include the $sort fields in
the $fields argument. On PostgreSQL this will cause the function to fail when
the default $sort fields aren't part of the requested fields. The behavior of
the function is augmented to add the $sort fields to $fields if they are not
already present.
Also the get_property_definition() was created to get the property without retrieve the whole definition cache and
unit tests were created to tests those new methods.
This is a squashed commit containing a number of changes:
This is an ajax driven course selector that has searching etc. It can select single, or multiple courses.
Make course selector accept a list of courses to exclude
courseselector - lookup coursename on setValue
Use the get_course_display_name_in_list function to generate the course names
Add a throttle to auto-complete to reduce spamming the server
Do a single query to fetch all the courses in the mform element when validation fails
Fix core course search function to return results when there are less than 2 chars in the query.
Handle setData with an empty array in new course selector
This commits removes stuff from different upgradelib files, used
exclusively by the already deleted upgrade steps. Given such
exclusivity it was not needed to proceed with a 2-phase deprecation
as far as the functions were 100% internal to upgrade.

corresponding upgrade.txt files:
