+ we are now more conservative in the fields it asks from the db
+ also more conservative with upates to chat_users
+ messages are now added via POST requests instead of GET
Added default values to migrate2utf8.xml, for any varchar and text field types, if the default values for these fields were not defined as '' in the MySQL table creation script.
Committed by vyshane
Added new function, import_backup_file_silently
Changed everything that prints stuff to check for a constant first.
Backup_flush checks a different constant, this is so that output can still
get flushed to the browser when necessary but not print <li>s everywhere.
Please test this!
This patch allows the much requested selection of individual instances of modules within a course to backup and restore.
It needs A LOT of testing and probably some prettyifying too.
Three improvements:
1. $nomoodlecookie = true. I just found out about this undocumented(?) hack(?)
in lib/setup.php which is the perfect way to suppress some warnings. We
don't need a session cookie for the chatd.
2. If allow_call_time_pass_reference is Off, socket_getpeername can't work.
3. Suppress "call time pass by reference is deprecated" messages for
socket_getpeername, we don't have any choice here.
Complete refactoring of the system that was really awful (my fault!).
Now everything is in its place and working like a charm, making things really
easier to be implemented and amplied. Bug 3678

Note: Everything is merged from stable but the quiz module because it has
other changes not merged for now. I've skyped a message to Gustav about it.
Merged from MOODLE_15_STABLE
block is constructed. A new function exists to pump these notes out
in a standard way : print_recent_activity_note.
Module dependencies also updated because of this.
