moodle/blog:associatemodule and moodle/blog:associatecourse should not be used
anymore as per the discussion in the issue. Everyone is free to blog about anything
they want to blog about.
Rather than overloading the $CFG->bloglevel setting which had a
confusing UI in the appearance subsystem.
In order to achieve this we modify take the defaults from the existing
bloglevel setting and set that for $CFG->enableblogs. Note that in order
to prevent a bad default settings from being set we also set
$CFG->bloglevel to a valid 'enabled' setting.
- function get_mimetypes_array() now contains also information about filetype groups and language strings
- use 'smart' human-readable mimetype description
- never determine filetype group based on filetype icon image! remove function mimeinfo_from_icon()
- get rid of class filetype_parser and file lib/filestorage/file_types.mm, replaced with functions file_get_typegroup(), file_extension_in_typegroup() and file_mimetype_in_typegroup()
- support multiple icon sizes, not only 16 and 32
- retrieve filetype icon only using proper functions file_..._icon() from lib/filelib.php throughout the code
- increase size of repository thumbnails to 90 and icons to 24 (will take effect when new icons exist)

Major tasks undertaken in this patch:
* New format_text argument, overflowdiv.
* New page layout Report.
* Review of all format_text calls.
* Added support for the report layout to all themes.
* Changed forum post display from tables to divs.
New string is available. Use get_string('labelsep', 'langconfig') to be used
as a separator between a label and the labelled text. If you want to
produce <label> HTML element, you may be interested in the new
html_writer::label() method. Simple selects and URL selects now use it.
There are bambillion places where ': ' is hardcoded as a separator. I do
not think we have to fix them manually now (and mass search and replace
would be tricky) but everybody should stop adding new.
Do not abuse 'labelsep' for any other purposes. Note that it may not be
colon in some languages or sites.
* class html_component does not exist any more
* class html_table rendered via html_writer::table()
* html_table, html_table_row and html_table_cell have public $attributes property to set their CSS classes
* dropped rotateheaders feature, should be added again after more research of possible ways (<svg> is not nice IMHO)
* dropped possibility to define CSS classes for table heading, body and footer - can be easily done and better done using just table class and context
