The 'Show description' feature is about optionally including module description on the course page. This change include the necessary infrastructure - new database field, new FEATURE constant, changes to forms to display it, new language strings for it, backup and restore, and old course conversion. (I found the places to change by searching for an existing field in course_modules).
Documentation for the field is included in install.xml and in modinfolib.

If $CFG->themedir is set (it is not usually) and the given theme is not
found in the standard location, then it is expected to be in the custom
$CFG->themedir directory.

This patch introduces new lib/pluginlib.php library that provides
unified access meta-information about all present plugin types. The
library defines plugin_manager singleton that in turn gathers
information about all present plugins and their status. The list of
plugins can be rendered either as plugins check table or plugins control
panel.
This makes print_plugins_table() function obsolete and because it is not
expected to be called by any contrib plugin, the function is removed.
CSS for the legacy table generated by print_plugins_table() is cleaned
up.
This patch reimplements the internal cache that was used to store the
list of available translations in Moodle 1.x. By default, the method
get_list_of_translations() still uses the file
moodledata/cache/languages to store the list of available translations.
The location of that file can be redefined in config.php. The internal
format of the cache file is JSON now (used to be a plain text list).
The patch also fixes a usage of the global $CFG in translation_exists()
methods where the internal property should be used instead.
Administrators can now specify $CFG->langcacheroot in their config.php for
alternative location of strings disk cache. If the alternative location is
not set, Moodle uses default $CFG->dataroot/cache/lang
This patch fixes incorrect password creating, updating and resetting, updating of user fields, unsupported auth plugins are correctly identified, modification of mnethostid is prevented, fixed problem with email duplicates, new password is generated for users without email, etc. It also includes coding style improvements, more inline docs, future TODOs and license information.
