get_plugin_list was calling clean_param($pluginname, PARAM_PLUGIN) a
lot (600+ times per page), and that is much slower than you would guess.
A specific function for this case, (which we then also use from
clean_param) is a performance win.
I also broke the unit tests into more, smaller, named tests, so that
when things start failing, more tests are run, and it is clearer what
the problem is.
In a couple of cases, I adjusted the $ideal lenght in the test. A
careful counting of the characters in the test input (added as comments)
suggests that the new values make for better tests.
usergetdate should return consistent values for different timezone. There are
two return path
1. If timezone is servertime, it returns getdate
2. If timezone other then servertime, it use gmstrftime, which returns string and
values with leading zero.
In second case, leading zero's are removed and values are type casted. One major fix
is with yday, getdate returns 0 through 365, whereas %j returns 001 through 366. This
has been fixed as well.
