This also deprecates moodle_list and list_item, which were only being
used by qbank_managecategories, and the QUESTION_PAGE_LENGTH constant
which was defined in question_category_object.php but only used by
moodle_list.
This implementation will introduce a new user interface for
"qbank_managecategories" plugin which will allow user to drag and drop.
Having this plugin will give users the flexibility of reordering, adding
or editing
categories from the qbank_managecategories view.

This splits the API functions required for the reorganised category UI,
to properly separate the qbank_managecategories and core_question APIs.
This methods that were part of question_category_object that should live
in the core_question namespace (generate CRUD operations related to
categories) are moved to the new \core_question\category_manager class.
The parts that belong in the qbank_managecategories plugin as they are
used to display the editing UI are moved to the
\qbank_managecategories\question_categories class.
Static methods that were defined in \qbank_managecategories\helper and
were only used within methods that have been moved to one of the new
classes have been deprecated and moved to those new classes as well.
This will allow the entire
\qbank_managecategories\question_category_object class to be deprecated
in the following commit.
A check for deprecated icons has been integrated into Behat tests.
This check can be disabled by adding the --no-icon-deprecations flag
to the Behat initialization command.
A new method, get_deprecated_icons(), has been added to the icon_system class.
All deprecated icons should be registered through this method.
When $CFG->debugpageinfo is enabled, a console message will display a list of
the deprecated icons.
Deprecates the $course parameter in the constructor of the
core_course\output\actionbar\group_selector class. This parameter is no
longer used, as the $course object can now be obtained through the
$context class property. Additionaly, the $course class property has
been removed in accordance with this change.
Some email body strings use first names as greetings,
some use full names, and some do not.
Using the first name for greeting makes it consistent and
a bit more "personal".
The COUNT window function can be helpful to fasten the complex query,
but it's not recommended to be used for a single table query.
The patch is specifically for PostgreSQL, MariaDB and Oracle databases as they have better performance
compared to MySQL and MSSQL. Although these databases support the COUNT window functions,
the results indicate that the query runs slower when using them.
