This change adds conditional availability support for sections analagous to
that already available for activities. (Backend, UI, backup/restore.)
In order that this feature does not reduce performance, section cacheing has
also been added using a new course 'sectioncache' field analagous to modinfo.
The new feature integrates with activity availability so that activities
inside sections which are not available are automatically not available
themselves (meaning it works to restrict access).
The user is sent to the new grade/grading/manage.php screen when an
advanced grading method is set in the activity mod form or via the
settings block.
The screen is supposed to (1) let the user change the currently active
grading method, (2) open the editor for the selected method, (3) create
new form from a template (4) display a preview of the form.
Change also adds minor feature to date-time selector so you can specify the time it uses as default when the value is 0 (disabled).
Credit: This feature was developed collaboratively by Charles Fulton, Neill Magill, and me.
New PARAM_COMPONENT, PARAM_AREA and PARAM_PLUGIN + fixing of hopefully all current incorrect parameter types. This should help with diagnosing of incorrectly named 3rd party plugins too.
Also, refine the standard_grading_coursemodule_elements method to add a
help string.

The 'Show description' feature is about optionally including module description on the course page. This change include the necessary infrastructure - new database field, new FEATURE constant, changes to forms to display it, new language strings for it, backup and restore, and old course conversion. (I found the places to change by searching for an existing field in course_modules).
Documentation for the field is included in install.xml and in modinfolib.

* Cleaned up rating/index.php to use html_table object and moved inline styles to CSS.
* Added missing properties of the rating object that were being set throughout the rating
API.
For a second, I panicked reading that mod/{modname}/mod_form.php are now
deprecated in favour of mod/{modname}.mod_form.php Fortunately, git-blame
and git-show helped me to realize what happened here in 7cac0c4b
Even though I've tweaked this and done some polishing, there is still plenty to do on it now in HEAD, mostly to do with UI, usability and strings, so we'll keep working on it. Aaron already has a number of improvements to add to it.
