Adds 'Preparing page display' progress bars for user interface pages
if they take a long time to display.
Also adds changes where other parts of the backup progress timed out on
long backups. After this change, and MDL-41838, it is finally possible on
my dev server to successfully back up the 'XL' test course.
Now users can choose to exclude the question bank from the backup,
this will in turn prevent any modules which use the question bank
from being included in the backup.
This patch includes:
* version column removed from modules table, now using standard config, this allows decimal version for modules
* version column removed from block table, now using standard config, this allows decimal version for blocks
* module version.php can safely use $plugins instead of module
* new plugin_manager bulk caching, this should help with MUC performance when logged in as admin
* all missing plugins are now in plugin overview (previously only blocks and modules)
* simplified code and improved coding style
* reworked plugin_manager unit tests - now using real plugins instead of mocks
* unit tests now fail if any plugin does not contain proper version.php file
* allow uninstall of deleted filters
Add to the existing 'select all/none' JavaScript so that users can choose
to select or deselect everything of a certain module (e.g. deselect all
forums).
Unfortunately it isn't possible to display the current stage before
printing header any more, because we need to be able to show a
progress bar while doing the code that considers whether or not
priunt stage. So this change removes stage information from page
title. It is still present (in bold) in the strip that shows where
you are within the restore/import.
This display was inconsistent anyway; change makes it consistent
between Restore and Import.
1. Changes progress bar code to allow headings for progress bar (so users have
some clue what's going on if a page has more than one progress bar).
2. Changes restore code so that a progress bar can display during pre-checks if
they take longer than 5 seconds.
3. Changes pre-check and restore code so that, in various points where the system
can take a long time within an individual step, intederminate progress is
indicated and it won't time out.
Adds calls to the new backup progress tracking API within various steps of the
backup system - previously it only tracked progress between steps, but some steps
can themselves be slow. This ensures the system displays progress (either by
moving the progress bar if possible, or by making the wibbler below it pulsate)
during nearly all of the backup process.
