This change makes the resource module use the new API when it embeds media
files (audio/video/Flash), and removes the resourcelib library functions
which were previously used for this.
The old API is still used for embedding non-media files such as PDFs and
HTML.
The URL and Lesson module both used copy/paste duplicates of a section of
resource module code which called the removed functions. I have changed
these too. As a bonus this significantly reduces the duplication involved.
1. Implement core_course_get_contents web service
2. Implement callbacks in folder, resource, page and url modules
3. Implement download script for web service
For modules that still used the 'old' generic object return from _get_coursemodule_info instead of returning a cached_cm_info object, I changed them to use the new format as part of this. This made a few areas of code regarding onclick links slightly nicer.
This patch replays the logic of resource_20_migrate() function. If a
file is referred via URL to the course files of the course being
backed up, then such a resource is converted to the File module
(mod/resource) rather than URL module.
During the restore, the section's sequence field is ignored and the
order of modules is controlled by the order of the <contents> activity
elements. This patch makes sure that the modules are listed in that
section in the right order.
Also, the patch removes the obsolete stash sectionidslist which was
introduced when the method get_stash_itemids() had not existed yet.
