MDL-11527 fixed warning from $CFG->defaultuserroleid when installing and upgrading
+ removed reusing of previous contexts in has_capability() and get_context_instance() because it was hiding critical errors when context was false, not specified, etc.
+ tweaked roles defaults - faster and defaults are applied when roles exist
+ SYSCONTEXTID may be specified in config.php to eliminate 1 db query
+ static context cache is now reset after rebuilding of context paths
+ path field in context table is now nullable - pg compatibility requirement
+ other minor fixes
MDL-8868 Set only minimal permissions for creator role
+ improved accesslib to handle changes of context levels in capability definitions

people who enrol in the course.
$course->defaultrole defines the value for each course for what role
should be used in the same case. Naturally it defaults to the site config
(when it is zero).
This role is retained even when the person editing the course settings
doesn't actually have that role in their list of assignable rights (however
they are prevented from actually switching to any such role themselves).
Note that enrol plugins are free to ignore these values and use whatever
roles they like. Generally, though, they should respect these settings.
Reports now don't need mod.php but they should include the admin headers/footers.
There are undoubtedly bugs in this but this framework should be more sane
