When the auto-save fails, we alert the user that they may have lost their
internet connection so that they don't do more work that they might just
lose.
At the top of the quiz reivew page, there is a table that summarises
infomration about the quiz attempt as a whole. For some question
behaviours, we would like to be able to add additional information to
that summary.
This commit introduces a generic method for the behaviour to provide
summary information about an entire question usage.
1. There is a new admin setting to control whether this feature is
enabled. The admin can set the auto-save frequency to 1, 2 or 5 minutes,
or disable it.
2. When autosave is enabled, there is code in the quiz that monitors the
main quiz form, and does an ajax save call at the given frequency when
changes are being made by the student.
3. The ajax saves go to a new script that calls the question engine to
do the work.
4. To avoid simultaneous autosave + submit and finish, the auto-save
system shuts down shortly before time expires in a timed quiz.
There were a number of lang strings in suboptimal places.
This commit fixes that, and also removed some unused strings.

The summary page was not enforcing the end of the grace period. If the
user had the summary page open, then they coudl still stubmit after the
end of the grace period.
Also, the editing form was not validating that the quiz grace period was
greater than quiz|graceperiodmin in the quiz configuration, and that
should be checked, so I added it.
I fear that processattempt.php is becoming very spaghetti-like with all
the timing rules, it really needs to be refactored, but not 2 weeks
before the 2.3 release. (When refactoring, we really need unit tests for
this.)
Thanks to Mary Cooch & Martin Dougiamas who contributed to this
rewording.

It is only necessary when there are (non-preview) attempts. However,
after making this change we have to ensure users cannot start attempts
when ->grade > 0 and ->sumgrades = 0.
Display ->grade on the order and paging tab of edit.php, so it is clear
what is going on when you are using that tab.
Finally, improve the error message a student gets if they try to start a
quiz with no questions.
It can be easily included in official distribution again if somebody fixes it because there are no stored data, capabilities or versions. This will finally allow us to drop the outdate Smarty library form distribution package.
