Create a new profile field type, move all existing content of the fields
'icq', 'skype', 'aim', 'yahoo', 'msn' and 'url' in the mdl_user table to
theses new profile fields if needed.

No need to have a dedicated admin_setting_managewebservicetokens admin
setting subclass, and yet do not use almost any of its features. So the
patch merges the list and the forms handling into a single external
page.
Similarly, it feels like overkill to have a renderer method for a
simple confirmation widget - especially given that the URLs were
hard-coded in it. So that one was dropped.
I suppose the original reasoning was that the web services protocols are
pluggable and that plugins can provide external function. But those are
not good reasons to put the whole Web services section under plugins.
Web services are not a plugin type and they always felt very
counter-intuitive there.
From the server administrtaion perspective, web services are similar to
scheduled tasks and therefore, they should live in the same section.
The $CFG->badges_site_backpack setting has been completely removed
because it's not required anymore. From now, the primary site
backpack will be the first one in the "Manage backpacks" list (so,
the one with lower sortorder value).
Setting "External backpack connection" has been moved from "Backpack
settings" to "Badges settings" in order to make easier to find and
configure it.
Some extra tests have been added to cover existing behaviour and
confirm is still working as expected.
pdftoppm (from poppler-utils package) is several orders of
magnitude quicker than ghostscript extracting PNG images
from PDF documents.
We add support for this tool and use it whenever set up,
or using gs as before if missing.
Revisited code with peer review comments. In particular:
1. Make default path for pdftoppm empty string.
2. Fix a typo on the method description for get_gs_command_for_image.
3. Added more information why is useful pdftoppm into string pathtopdftoppm_help.
4. Check that path for pdftoppm is executable to prevent errors. Otherwise, use gs.
The patch introduces a new admin_setting fiela type that can be used for
specifying comma separated list of countries. The field has inbuilt
validation so that only valid country codes can be inserted.
On installation (or also phpunit/behat unit) some CFG variables
were being used (on setting validation) before being set.
So this commit just verifies they are set before using them. Note that,
strictly speaking, only one of them ($CFG->searchenginequeryonly)
required the extra check, but I think it's better to apply it to all
them, as a reference and in case validations are run in any other order.
To support transitions from one search engine to a different one, or
to a different installation of the same kind, this feature allows for
queries to use a different search engine from indexing. So you can
reindex (and do all other search operation) on one server, while
user queries are unaffected on a different server.
This feature supports changing between search engine types, and also
between two Solr installations.
