- 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)

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
The recent change completely removed support for general URIs and enforced strict URL validation which was breaking backwards compatibility and was not user friendly at all.
This patch finally adds full URI support with basic validation and fixes some older xhtml strict issues.
Please note we do not try to explain the difference between URL and URI to our users. Also keep in mind that mod/url has XSS risk and does not do any security validation of the data.
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.
