Previously, a set of calculated quiz statistics would only 'last' for
15 minutes. Then they would be considered invalid and not used.
Now, computed statistics are kept indefinitely. Instead, when a new
batch of values are computed for a particular set of settings, older numbers
for the same settings are deleted first. Therefore,
question_stats_cleanup_task is no more.
The apiBase in .well-known/badgeconnect.json was ignored and it was
causing some failures when connecting or sending badges to an
external backpack.
For OBv2.1, it has been changed to always use the apiBase defined
in the badgeconnect.json backpack provider.
The method already loaded the validated persistent model data on the
previous line, there's no need to do it again (while also trying to
load unvalidated properties).
Allow pages to choose which course reuse overflow node is selected, to
handle cases where the default selection (based on matching PAGE->url
to the node action URL) isn't possible (such as when several pages need
to exist under the same selected node).
In cases where we have an id, load the persistent and then set new data
before saving. This ensures we don't delete fields which are missing in
the form data.
Also ensure that if course reuse contains only a single node (e.g.
reset), then it is still accessible from secondary navigation.

The enabled state of a plugin is a tri-state value (boolean or
null). We should be consistent with elsewhere by only considering
boolean false as an actually disabled plugin.
See also cdcb53a1 for similar change in task management.
Fixes the site home secondary nav, so that nodes added by plugins
implementing the PLUGIN_extend_navigation_frontpage callback can be
displayed for users who don't have the 'course:update' capability.
This change comprises:
- Removed course:update capability checks from site home (index.php)
and from the secondary nav view. This isn't needed since the nav is
capability aware.
- Fixed the initialisation of the secondary nav for the frontpage
course, removing erroneous duplicate 'home' nodes. The nav is now only
shown if there are nodes to display.
This patch modifies the way copy data is shared in order to mitigate potential race conditions
and ensure that the serialised controller stored in the DB is always in a valid state.
The restore controller is now considered the "source of truth" for all information about the
copy operation. Backup controllers can no longer contain information about course copies.
As copy creation is not atomic, it is still possible for copy controllers to become orphaned or
exist in an invalid state. To mitigate this the backup cleanup task has been modified to call
a new helper method copy_helper::cleanup_orphaned_copy_controllers.
Summary of changes in this patch:
- Copy data must now be passed through the restore controller's constructor
- base_controller::get_copy has been deprecated in favour of restore_controller::get_copy
- base_controller::set_copy has been deprecated without replacement
- core_backup\copy\copy has been deprecated, use copy_helper.class.php's copy_helper instead
- backup_cleanup_task will now clean up orphaned controllers from copy operations that went awry
Thanks to Peter Burnett for assiting with testing this patch.
