Creates two new functions that make it easier to get cm_info
objects (both in modinfolib.php):
get_course_and_cm($cmid) - intended for use e.g. in modules;
efficiently loads $course and $cm (normally saves 1 query).
cm_info::from_mixed($cm) - for use in back-end API where we
are not sure whether a $cm is a real cm_info or a stdClass.
