this involves moving all formslib includes to where they're actually needed.
it also moves the portfolio stuff from assignment,data,chat,forum and glossary
into a locallib.php which involved creating it for many of those modules.
This commit includes:
- leap2a portfolio format, and xml writer
- proof of concept implementation in forum and assignment modules
- a lot of refactoring of the portfolio formats in general:
- addition of "abstract" formats - this is necessary for plugins to be able to support groups of formats
- addition of the idea of portfolio formats conflicting with eachother - eg richhtml & plainhtml
it touches modules other than assignment and forum, because the format api
changed and now each place in moodle that exports portfolio content has to deal
with the formats it supports slightly differently.
At the moment the Mahara portfolio still doesn't support this format, because I
haven't done the Mahara side yet. The "file download" plugin supports it
though.
Still todo:
- Add support for the other places in Moodle (glossary, data, etc)
- Write tests, once the rest of the portfolio tests have been updated to use the new DB mocking stuff
- Fix a bunch of TODOs
Note: I also took the oppertunity to extend navigation_node action handling, so that navigation nodes can accepts
moodle_url, html_link, or strings for actions
The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
There is a new implementation of require_js in lib/deprecatedlib.php,
based on $PAGE->requires.
There were a few other recently introduced functions in lib/weblib.php,
namely print_js_call, print_delayed_js_call, print_js_config and
standard_js_config. These have been removed, since they were never in
a stable branch, and all the places that used them have been changed
to use the newer $PAGE->requires->... methods.
get_require_js_code is also gone, and the evil places that were calling
it, even though it is an internal function, have been fixed.
Also, I made some minor improvements to the code I committed yesterday
for MDL-16695.
All that remains is to update all the places in core code that are
still using require_js.
(This commit also fixes the problem where the admin tree would not
start with the right categories expanded.)
