- Define sitepolicy handler manager class, base class and the core handler
- Allow to set a plugin as sitepolicyhandler that implements the sitepolicy API
- Modify web services to return information from the 3rd party handler instead of core if needed
This patch includes a big set of changes that are all designed to work together to provide
a better way to navigate in the new theme, and a different way of working with blocks.
Blocks have been moved to a "drawer" that can be opened and closed (this is remembered in a user pref).
A new "flat navigation" element is also available in a drawer - which should let you do 90% of things
without needing to open the "blocks" drawer.
The flat navigation is build from specific parts of the nav tree - the top nodes like "calendar, dashboard" are
hand picked. There is a mycourses node listing your enrolled courses.
There is a node for the current course, built from the top nodes in the current course node in the nav tree.
Administrators have a link to the Site admin settings here too.
These nav elements are used by the templates for the new theme, which also has a resigned layout for login and signup.
There have also been some additional fixes / improvements to the scss for the new theme which goes along with these
layout changes.
This set of changes is a collaboration between Martin, Damyon and Alberto (thanks!).
The badges feature allows to integrate Mozilla "Open Badges" to issue, assign,
manage and display digital badges in Moodle. This feature supports:

-- Moodle block to display latest badges
* New Capability report put under Users -> Permissions
* Miscellaneous category renamed to Development
* Unit tests and Functional DB test moved to be under Development.
* The hard-coded hack that was used to change the permission that controls the Backups and stats reports replaced with settings.php files.
* There were two hidden Miscellaneous things in the old category, so I moved them. Multilan upgrade now under Lanuages, and Online assignment cleanup now under Plugins -> Activity modules. Both still hidden.
There was already a way for admin report plugins to control where they appeared in the tree, but it was not documented, so see http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Admin_reports
Yes, I know I changed an existing language string, which is supposed to be wrong, but I changed it so that the string 'plugin' is now 'Plugin'. I just cannot see that as a wrong change.
MDL-11566 only site shortname, fullname and desc are required/displayed during installation
MDL-11567 fixed upgradesettings redirects if error in settings
MDL-11143 defaultfrontpageroleid moved to Frontpage settings page (easier to find), speedup
Reports now don't need mod.php but they should include the admin headers/footers.
There are undoubtedly bugs in this but this framework should be more sane
