* Refactor the block generator base class, to remove the amount
of duplication required in base classes.
* Change the defaults that are filled in to be a little more natural.
* Make the Behat step 'Given the following "block" exist:' work.

Added course start date for the course generated by the course
generator in order to prevent incorrect date calculations
(i.e. in assignment due dates) when the generated course is reset.
Only change from 2.9 is the modification of the slasharguments
admin setting string to recommend always to keep the setting enabled
and fix the problem in the server, warning about the drawbacks
of disabling it.
Also, there is a little phpdoc note added to one custom check
to have clearly specified when we can get rid of it.
This commit covers all events outside of /mod/. It adds mapping info for restoring
events, or the default implementation which returns false if mapping is not required.
This was a regression of my recent improvement of rendering the "Check
for updates" button. There is now unified parameter ?fetchupdates=1 that
can be used on either admin/index.php or admin/plugins.php, so that we
can use a common UI widget for both locations (without the need to pass
the URL explicitly).
The admin setting updateautodeploy no longer exists. The two existing
config.php flags $CFG->disableupdateautodeploy and
$CFG->disableonclickaddoninstall merged into a single one.
General backup/restore does not need to handle external data sources natively - so
any changes needed to achieve this should be contained to the plugin that needs it.
Using standard subplugin support, this commits implements
the restore of logstore subplugins in general and the
standard logstore is particular. Notes:
- TODO: Decide about these 2 pending issues:
1) Some logs are already created (events fired) by the restore process itself. Every time
an API is used and it fires events... corresponding (and actual!)
logs are created. We need to prevent restore to duplicate them (or,
alternatively, stop firing events when restore is happening).
2) There are 2 pieces of information in the logs that, right now, can
not be restored, because the process does not know enough to be able
to remap that information to its new counterparts. We are talking
about objectid and other columns. So we need to specify, in some way
understandable by restore, to which existing mappings they correspond
to.
Using standard subplugin support, this commit implements
the backup of logstore subplugins in general and the
standard logstore in particular. Notes:
- Uses a custom final element (base64_encode_final_element) to
support the storage of serialized 'other' information in logs.
- Organization: Instead of directly extending backup_subplugin,
every logstore extends backup_tool_log_logstore_subplugin just
in case any shared code is needed in the future.
- Implements both course and activity logs, sharing the structure
completely (both are based in contextid to pick the target
information, from database or whatever other logstores use).
