There are cases when a moodle installation needs to only deal
user authentication and not user creation (this is especially
interesting when using external authentication sources such as LDAP,
CAS, etc.)
Add an option to prevent automatic user creation if the administrator
does't want users to be automatically created.

Nearly everybody else does this login page autofocus. Once we switch to HMTL 5 we should use the new autofocus input option. I believe the admin setting should be enabled by default but it would not be possible to get it through the reviews.
While doing this, I found various bugs in the manages question types admin page, and so fixed them, and updated the code
there to use $OUTPUT and html_writer.

allowed turning off the http HEAD request timeout calculation with zero (or negative) bitrate
This was added in to allow servers that have a problem with
HEAD requests to carry on with the given timeout without re-calculations.
See PULL-651 for the discussion.
the optional argument to force recalculation of timeout has been forced within scorm/locallib.php
timeout re-calculation only increments timeout.
The patch introduces a new string to be displayed at admin notifications
page. The maturity level message for upgrade/install reworded as
requested in the tracker.
The patch also adds a new core call to purge all caches at the beginning
of the upgrade. This must be done before the upgrade starts so that the
strings are re-fetched from the updated source and not from the on-disk
cache.
Frontpage role selection now allows only guest and frontpage roles. Default forntpage role is selected duuring install. Unused nodefaultuserrolelists option was removed completely. Coding style improvements.
This patch introduces new lib/pluginlib.php library that provides
unified access meta-information about all present plugin types. The
library defines plugin_manager singleton that in turn gathers
information about all present plugins and their status. The list of
plugins can be rendered either as plugins check table or plugins control
panel.
This makes print_plugins_table() function obsolete and because it is not
expected to be called by any contrib plugin, the function is removed.
CSS for the legacy table generated by print_plugins_table() is cleaned
up.
This patch reimplements the internal cache that was used to store the
list of available translations in Moodle 1.x. By default, the method
get_list_of_translations() still uses the file
moodledata/cache/languages to store the list of available translations.
The location of that file can be redefined in config.php. The internal
format of the cache file is JSON now (used to be a plain text list).
The patch also fixes a usage of the global $CFG in translation_exists()
methods where the internal property should be used instead.
The commit introduces four new constants that can be used to declare a
maturity level of Moodle core and, in the future, of extension plugins.
If the administrator is about to install or upgrade Moodle to a version
that is not considered as production-ready yet, a warning is displayed
before any change in the database.
This patch fixes incorrect password creating, updating and resetting, updating of user fields, unsupported auth plugins are correctly identified, modification of mnethostid is prevented, fixed problem with email duplicates, new password is generated for users without email, etc. It also includes coding style improvements, more inline docs, future TODOs and license information.
