Switching between categories view and edit no longer depend on global editing mode
/course/index.php and /course/category.php do not contain editing code
Instead of repeating code all over the place because the original function delete_course_module only partially deletes data, we now place all the functionality needed to delete a module here.
- added function get_module_types_names() returning the list of localised strings used for module names;
- added function cm_info::get_used_module_names();
- added magic properties cm_info:: and cm_info:: returning human readable module name;
- replaced usage of function get_all_mods() with get_fast_modinfo() and get_module_types_names();
- function print_section_add_menus() may now retrieve the modules names list itself;
- deprecated function get_all_mods()
Function add_mod_to_section() has very confusing arguments when object looks like record from
table course_modules but field ->section refers to relative section number (course_sections.section).
In table course_modules the field section refers to course_sections.id.
Also add_mod_to_section() does not update table course_modules and does not call rebuild_course_cache()
which developer can forget to do afterwards.
- Added function course_add_cm_to_section()
- In the core code add_mod_to_section() is replaced with course_add_cm_to_section()
- Function add_mod_to_section() is deprecated
- added class format_base as the base for all course formats
- added class format_site for the pseudo-format 'site' used for displaying activities on the front page
- added class format_legacy that overrides format_base functions with calling old-style 'callback_xxx' functions
- replaced all usage of 'callback_xxx' functions with format_base methods
- made arguments of get_section_name(), get_course_url() more flexible
- deprecated function get_generic_section_name(), it's contents is moved to format_base
- global_navigation::format_display_course_content() is removed, plugins can supress the sections navigations using extend_course_navigation()

More details are available in tracker subtasks.
Some of the callers have never been fully implemented (help file never existed)
so I just dropped the help icon. In other cases, new help_icon() is
used. The help icons support in the messaging must be reviewed by the
subsystem maintainer.
