This new API returns a list of contexts for each search area. This
allows the areas to be reindexed in a sensible order (roughly
speaking, newest first) and also allows this to be controlled by
each area.
An implementation in the forum module means that forums are ordered
by the date of the most recent discussion, so that active forums
will be reindexed early even if they were created a long time ago.
This change considers all existing search areas in Moodle and makes
necessary changes.
Custom change to course search, supported by helper in base.php:
* course/classes/search/mycourse.php
Custom change to message search:
* message/classes/search/message_received.php
* message/classes/search/message_sent.php
Custom change to user search:
* user/classes/search/user.php
Custom changes to module areas, supported by helper in base_mod.php:
* mod/book/classes/search/chapter.php
* mod/data/classes/search/entry.php
* mod/forum/classes/search/post.php
* mod/glossary/classes/search/entry.php
* mod/survey/classes/search/activity.php
* mod/wiki/classes/search/collaborative_page.php
(Note: the unit tests do not exhaustively check every context type
for these, given that's mainly handled by the helper function
which was already tested in the base_activity test.)

* blocks/html/classes/search/content.php

Increase the scope of the files that are detected and
indexed by Moodle's Global Search. This includes intro
and content areas of search areas. The use case here is
in a description for an activity there is a file added
that contains more information about the activity.
It would an advantage to be able to search this content
as well. It would also allow search engine plugins to be
able to index non text files such as images.
Some search areas have been introduced as part of the initial search API
and search engine API implementation.
