Tim Hunt 990650f94c quiz: MDL-16478 Allow different open/close dates, etc. for individual students or groups.
This was implemented by Matt Petro of the University of Wisconsin - Madison Engineering
School and Math Department. Many thanks. Reviewed by and committed by Tim Hunt.

This adds a new Overrides tab to the UI, with sub-tabs Group overrides and User overrides.
Each of those lists all the overrides that currently exist, and lets you manage them and
create more.

When a quiz is being attempted, the override that applies to the current user is combined
with the current quiz settings loaded from the quiz table (normally called $quiz).
If there are both user and group overrides, then just the specific user override is used (more specific).
If the user is in several groups, then the overrides are combined to give the most permissive set of options.

There is one new database table quiz_overrides, to store the overrides.

ACTIVITY MODULES
----------------

These are main modules in Moodle, allowing various activities.


Each of these modules contains a number of expected components:

  mod_form.php: a form to setup/update a module instance

  version.php: defines some meta-info and provides upgrading code

  icon.gif: a 16x16 icon for the module

  db/install.xml: an SQL dump of all the required db tables and data

  index.php: a page to list all instances in a course

  view.php: a page to view a particular instance

  lib.php: any/all functions defined by the module should be in here.
         constants should be defined using MODULENAME_xxxxxx
         functions should be defined using modulename_xxxxxx

         There are a number of standard functions:

         modulename_add_instance()
         modulename_update_instance()
         modulename_delete_instance()

         modulename_user_complete()
         modulename_user_outline()

         modulename_cron()

         modulename_print_recent_activity()
