We want to avoid page jumps wherever possible. This change uses the original select element as a "proxy" to reserve the space
in the DOM for the enhanced auto-complete when the JS runs.
It uses visibility: hidden to make the select not rendered - but still take up space.
The exact sizing for the CSS was determined by testing and reverse engineering the bootstrap calculations.
The size of user pictures in selectors was reduced to avoid flicker when switching between no selection and a selected user. I
could have reserved a larger amount of space, but it looks worse for pickers with no pictures.
The add/roles thing was only converted to bootstrap 2/4 markup and the yui left in place.
The modal for adding users to a course was unsavable so I rewrote it with an mform in a popup, still calling
the same (barely) modified ajax script.
The webservice for searching cohorts was taken from admin/tool/lp and moved into /cohort. I added a generic "cohort"
mform element at the same time.
The webservice for searching for users was taken from the original ajax script.
The availability info text can be either a one line short text such as
"Hidden from students" but it can also be a long HTML formatted text
with the list of all restricted access conditions. For the latter, using
bootstrap labels was not appropriate.
This extends the template context data with some boolean flags that
allow to better distinguish the source and meaning of the availability
information and display it accordingly.

This introduces a new "controlled link" file type where the file is not
stored in Moodle - but Moodle will control the access permissions on the file.
Plugins can "freeze" a filearea which means Moodle will take ownership of all the remote
files of this type.
When accessing a file, if the "filebrowser" infomation indicates the current user can write to the file, they
will be granted temporary write access.

We add a new theme config so the theme can say it supports font-awesome.
If this is true, the pix_icon renderer will call a mapping function to map
from the moodle style t/edit to a font-awesome style fa-cog icon name. Then the renderer
will either render an image tag for old icons - or an accessible font-awesome <i> tag.
This mostly works - but there are some places where we don't use the pix icon renderer, and
we directly create image tags with pix_url image sources. These will need updating (Atto icons,
drag and drop move icons, editpdf icons).
