1. Implement core_course_get_contents web service
2. Implement callbacks in folder, resource, page and url modules
3. Implement download script for web service
For modules that still used the 'old' generic object return from _get_coursemodule_info instead of returning a cached_cm_info object, I changed them to use the new format as part of this. This made a few areas of code regarding onclick links slightly nicer.
* Added the component and ratingarea fields and implemented it throughout
the rating API as mandatory fields
* Cleanup rating indexes
* Upgrade forum/data/glossary ratings
* Moved the logic in the render_rating method to methods of the rating object.
* Added new callback for checking ratingareas
* Cleaned comments here and there
* Mark the xxx_get_participants methods as deprecated
* Refactor rate_ajax and ratingsuser_can_view_aggregate methods
* Cleaned up rating/index.php to use html_table object and moved inline styles to CSS.
* Added missing properties of the rating object that were being set throughout the rating
API.
The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
Start calling $PAGE->set_url in all the places it will be necessary
Start of a stub implementation of $PAGE->blocks to stop other things breaking
Remove some of the special case methods in admin_page
Before this change, the full name of the resource type had to be stored in the "resource" namespace (for example in /mod/resource/lang/en_utf8/resource.php).
Now it can be put in the "resource_foo" namespace:
e.g. in /mod/resource/type/foo/lang/en_utf8/resource_foo.php:
<?php
$string['resourcetypefoo'] = 'Link to a Foo Bar document';
?>
added two new contract methods to the caller class, load_data and expected_callbackargs (static)
this means that the base class is the only place that needs a constructor
and that no data loading happens in the constructor
this in turn means we can check callback argument validity much more lightly
also completely remoted portfolio_add_button function and replaced with a class
as the argument list was getting out of control. it's now much more readable.
