Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) b5c6ce0d7f MDL-72921 generators: exported users now match the plan size definition
Before this patch the exported users (to csv file that jmeter consumes)
were all the enrolled users in the test course. And that's ok when the
number of users enrolled match the number of concurrent threads planned
for a jmeter plan (each thread is a user).

But when both numbers don't match, that can lead to the jmeter plan
not behaving as expected, because it iterates over the excessive users
in the file, leading to some users having run 5 loops, others 4...

The only way to make results more consistent is to, always, ensure that
the number of users exported for the plan match the plan size and not
the site size.

And that's what this issue exactly does, restrict the export to the
number of threads that the plan will have. So every user always runs
the very same number of loops.

This files describes API changes in core libraries and APIs,
information provided here is intended especially for developers.
=== 4.0 ===
* Function tool_generator_testplan_backend::create_users_file() now supports to pass the size of the testing plan,
that needs to be equal or smaller than the size of the generated site. That's used to effectively restrict the
exported number of users to the number of threads the jmeter plan will have (previously all the enrolled users
were being exported, with that leading to "false" loops (users not really looping X times).
=== 3.7 ===
* Function tool_generator_testplan_backend::get_course_options() is removed, the 'course' form element is used instead.
