* change the wording of the settings.
* add a repaginate now checkbox (disabled if shuffle is on).
* JavaScript to automatically check the checkbox when qpp changes.
* (remove some irrelevant return value checks now we use exceptions.)
* Reorder form fields to group things more logically.
** and on the corresponding admin page too.
* Set some options to be 'Advanced' by default:
** Apply penalties.
** Each attempt builds on the last.
** Decimal places for question grades.
** The five 'Extra restrictions on attempts' settings. (password, etc.)
* Admins can still change this to suit their institiution at Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Quiz.
* These new defaults are applied if the admin had not previously set any fields to be advanced.
* Disable some filds when they are not applicable:
** Grading method, if num attempts = 1
** Penaly scheme, if adaptive mode = no
** Each attempt builds of last, if num attempts = 1
** Review after quiz closed options, if no close date.
** Delay between 1st and 2nd attempts, if num attempts = 1
** Delay between later attempts, if num attempts < 3
* Convert quiz.timelimit to be in seconds, for consistency, and ready for the new duration field type (MDL 18500).
** Including ensuring that backup and restore is backwards compatible.
* MDL-5537 New setting, questiondecimalpoints, so, for example, you can show the quiz grade as an integer, but have fractional question grades.
** There is a 'Same as overall decimal points' option, which is the default.
* Improve some field labels.
* Make corresponding changes in the help files.
1. Fix this by factoring out a quiz_has_grades function.
2. Fix the quiz unit tests.
3. Fix quiz_has_feedback to return false for ungraded quizzes.
4. Fix use of get_records to do record_exists in quiz reports.
This is an initial implementation that is now at a working state, but with a few things left to do. It seemed like a good idea to commit it before leaving work on Friday night.
This new messaging system replaces all the various email_to_user() calls.
They are now replaced by events triggers, and the messages are then
processed centrally according to user preferences and sent to one or more
processors (email, popup, jabber etc...)
This code is not finished yet, a lot of work still has to be done on the
interface. However, the basic structure is there and should be working.
Luis and I will be reviewing and polishing this heavily in the next few weeks.
I also took the opportunity to improve the layout of this message slightly, and clarify the message that tells you that you cannot add or remove questions from the quiz if there are attemts.

More significantly, this patch changes the '1 Students have made 1 attempts' string.
To start with, this code was being produced in five different places, so I made a function to do the work!. Next, as you can see, it is not gramatical. Also, some people find it confusing, as in MDL-6376.
Therefore, it now just says 'Attempts: 1'.
