Under parallel development, when something is worth being commented
in upgrade.txt notes, it will be applied to all the development branches
using the "earliest" one to be released. So, if something changes
in 3.10 (and also is applied to master), the upgrade.txt notes will
show 3.10 in both branches.
Of course, if something only goes to one dev branch (say master), then the
master version will be used in the notes (4.0 in this case).

requires= 2021052500 same than version
Why 20210525? (25th May 2021) ?
Because master is going to be Moodle 4.0, to be released
on November 2021. And, until then, we are going to have
a couple of "intermediate" releases:
- Moodle 3.10 to be released 9th November 2020. (2020110900)
This version will be using versions from today to 2020110900
(once it's released the YYYYMMDD part stops advancing).
- Moodle 3.11 to be released 10th May 2021. (2021051000)
This version will be using versions from 3.10 release to 2021051000
(once it's released the YYYYMMDD part stops advancing).
That means that all versions from today to 2021051000 are going
to be used by those 2 "intermediate" releases (3.10 and 3.11).
And we cannot use them in master, because it's forbidden to have
any overlapping of versions between branches (or different upgrade
paths will fail).
So, get that 2021051000, let's add it a couple of weeks to cover
the on-sync period (or a 2 weeks delay max!) and, the first version
that master can "own" in exclusive (without any overlap) is, exactly,
25th May 2021, hence our 20210525.
Note this doesn't aim to be a complete change-set, but just the
minimum to switch to 3-digit $branches and keep installation, checks
and tests running and passing.
Currently, PHP getimagesize method doesn't support SVG images.
As some features, such as badges, processs and optimise the images
before using them, a new filetype group has been created to exclude
SVG from there: optimised_image.
SVG can't be removed from web_image because then users won't be
able to add SVG images to their courses using labels, pages...
The admin_setting_configselect admin setting did not support validation.
It was possible to validate only by using a subclass.
This change allows validation by a callback function. It also makes it
slightly easier to handle validation in a subclass if you want to do
that.
The main advantage is for cases where a setting is not generic but
is only ever going to be required in one place, and it creates
unnecessary clutter to make a new subclass.
The admin_setting_configselect admin setting already supported lazy
loading, but this was only available for subclasses. This change
means you can use it directly within the admin setting.
