These are David's changes of Mark's code that replace the
plan/tasks/steps infrastructure with a bit simpler one. The changes will
be described in the next commit that will actually finish the
conversion.
TODO: refactor backup/converter/moodle1/stepslib.php into conversion
handlers.
* Several base_converter methods made protected when there was no obvious
reason why they should be public (subject of eventual change still).
* The conversion chain now constructed in advance before any converter
class is instantiated, using Dijkstra's algorithm.
