The environment.xml files in plugins force you to define the versions of Moodle that the checks should be carried out against.
For community plugins the environment requirements of the plugin seem unlikely to be dependant on the version of Moodle.
This patch will allow the environment.xml files to use a new <PLUGIN> tag in place of the <MOODLE version="> tag.
This solution has the following properties:
* The Environment file will not break versions of Moodle that do not support the PLUGIN syntax.
* Specific versioned MOODLE tags can still be defined for versions of Moodle that do not have this patch.
* If both MOODLE and PLUGIN tags exist the PLUGIN tag will be used in preference.
* The PLUGIN tag will not function in the main Moodle environment.xml file.
* The PLUGIN tag has a mandatory name attribute that must match the frankenstyle name of the plugin being tested.
The format_string call used when getting file type descriptions
does not specify a context. The page context is not always
available at this point, so for consistency it should specify
the system context.
Basically if the destination dir is empty then the storage
type should be set to the course backup area. This does
not affect the behaviour of the backups that lived with
misconfigured settings.
following_should_download_between_and_bytes step sometimes
fails because of server speed. Added extended timout
ensuring they wait enough before failing.

New lang string for 'Activity' (meaning count of user actions) in stats
reports to disambiguate it with 'Activity' (meaning course module).

Adding alternate name fields (firstnamephonetic, lastnamephonetic,
middlename, alternatename) to "Lock user fields" for all
authentification plugins. This is needed to sync alternate name fields
with external data sources and to lock them for editing.
MSSQL's substring() implementation is somehow silly/strict and unable to
perform implicit casts to integer both for the start and length parameters.
This hits Moodle badly because of another problems (MDL-23997) we decided
to cast to string all bound placeholders long ago.
So this commit just enforces the cast of the start and length parameters to
integer. And includes unit tests for using placeholders on all positions in
the sql_substr() method.
