If teachers do not want to use the pdf annotation features, they should be able to disable it for a single assignment.

Until now in the get_assignments WS all the settings for assignment
plugins (submission and feedback) are returned, this was bad because:
- It was returning settings for plugins that may not be enabled
- It was returning settings that would be a security risk (a third
party plugin including a password or credentials for connecting a
remote site)
- Some values was returned "raw" without further processing, for
example, maxsubmissionsizebytes returned 0 when using the plugin
default value instead a valid size
- Assignment plugins implemented an API for communication with the
external API, see for example: get_external_parameters, it didn’t make
sense had an API for the received parameters and not the returned data.
We can not rely on the db engine returning results in the same order
if no order is specified in get_comments and get_annotations.
Also fixing a related unit test.
Added a method to the feedback plugins to check if feedback
has been modified. This allows for a more accurate record
of when the grade has been modified.
