MDL-60981 core_search: Add get_contexts_to_reindex API

This new API returns a list of contexts for each search area. This
allows the areas to be reindexed in a sensible order (roughly
speaking, newest first) and also allows this to be controlled by
each area.

An implementation in the forum module means that forums are ordered
by the date of the most recent discussion, so that active forums
will be reindexed early even if they were created a long time ago.

* It returns 2 values:
* - Extra SQL joins (tables block_instances 'bi' and context 'x' already exist).
* - An ORDER BY value which must use aggregate functions, by default 'MAX(bi.timemodified) DESC'.
*
* Note the query already includes a GROUP BY on the context fields, so if your joins result
* in multiple rows, you can use aggregate functions in the ORDER BY. See forum for an example.
