Added new sessioncookiedomain setting to session handling section.
* allows you to change the domain that the Moodle cookies are available
from. This is useful for Moodle customisations (i.e. Squirrelmail SSO
or enrolment plugins) that need to share Moodle session information
with a web application on another subdomain.
* Will NOT work if the moodle host does not have a domain - i.e. just a
hostname, e.g. 'localhost' or 'myhostname'. Needs a FQDN
* Currently the setting is set to PARAM_TEXT length 50 since PARAM_HOST
does not allow a leading dot e.g. '.mydomain.com'
* TODO: do we make up a new PARAM_COOKIEDOMAIN which is the same as
PARAM_HOST but allows leading dots? Using PARAM_HOST and prepending a
dot may not always be desirable.
1/ email notification when course requested
2/ course request capability so that we can limit who can request new course
3/ list of my pending course requests on the request form
Implemented in 1.9 by Petr Skoda, and reviewed and merged to HEAD by me.
* Rewrite all the forms to use formslib and improve usability.
* Put the place where admins need to go to process approvals in the admin menu.
* Show the request course/pending requests button on the page for the category that requested courses get added to.

* Simplify category editing permissions to just moodle/category:manage and moodle/category:seehiddencategories.
* Enforce those correctly. (Note MDL 17502 is still outstanding.)
* Don't screw up category sort order when you just edit name or description.
* Niceties like where redirects go when you cancel or submit forms.
* Make sure a global course creator can see the site admin block.
* Don't allow a category to be made the child of one of its children!
* General code cleanup to bring key files more in line with best pracitice.
Apologies for the fact it is one big patch, rather than a series of smaller patches. However, categoryedit.php, category.php and index.php where in pretty bad shape and needed significant cleaning up. categoryedit.php, in particular, was almost completely rewritten.
In the 1.9 branch this is controlled by a new option under Admin -> Experimental. In Moodle 2.0 dev it is not optional, it just works.
The main change is letting the manual grading report know which random questions might need manual grading. MDL-4004 - this depends on the random question under consideration, which requires a new questiontype method.
I also changed the random question code so that I could remove some global variables.
