ba224fb42c MDL-50783 Ajax: Configure how to call a webservice through db/service.php
Now the db/service.php array can contain these extra keys to provide information
on how a webservice may be called:

    'ajax' => true (Default is false)

Replaces the xx_is_allowed_from_ajax callback.

    'loginrequired' => false (Default is true)

Means that this webservice can be called through lib/ajax/service-nosession.php
which sets NO_MOODLE_COOKIES to true (faster). This is only safe for webservices returning
static public data (e.g. get_string).

5d8c198711 MDL-50782 Ajax: No require_login for all ajax webservice calls
Some webservice functions need to be available without a login, e.g.
fetching strings and templates.

External functions must call validate_context if they require a valid login etc.

Added a new parameter to services.php: "loginrequired". Default is true.

b0a583932a MDL-50784 ajax: Require a sesskey for all ajax requests.
This needs to be done before we can expose any webservices that
change state, or return private info to ajax (to prevent CSRF).

Currently there are no webservices exposed to ajax that meet these
criteria - so this issue is to prevent future security issues.

72f8324ec5 MDL-49163 Webservices, AJAX: Add support for a new ajax webservice handler.
This is a new script that can call any function in the built-in AJAX webservice. This is
a new system service that is added at install time (like the mobile webservice). It has no
protocols added to it, but it accessible by a new ajax script /lib/ajax/service.php.

Requests and responses to the script are required to be in json format, and multiple functions can
be called in a single request.
