Auth/LDAP
Bugfix - value truncation to fit Moodle database
- Added truncate_userinfo() to cleanup data coming from external auth
- Fixed auth_user_create() to truncate user info as appropriate
Auth_ldap_user_sync
- created external script that calls the function
- much faster update strategy on postgres and mysql: auth_sync_users now to uses bulk inserts into a temp table, and then use LEFT JOINs and plain old SELECTs to determine what users it has to insert.
- we now loop over smaller sets of data -- we are still memory-bound, but (a) it'll be easy to use LIMIT to manage that and (b) memory use is much lower now in all cases.
- postgres: phased commits in auth_user_sync() for the batch user upload phase
- Several feature and performance enhancements:
- if a value is removed from ldap, it will be cleared from moodle
- no-op updates (where the data does not change) are skipped
- if a user disappears and then reappears in LDAP in two separate calls to auth_user_sync(),the account will be marked deleted and then be revived. before, the account would have been deleted and created anew.
Multi-source ldap values:
The LDAP auth module now accepts a comma separated set of LDAP field names. When creating or updating a user record, auth/ldap will retrieve all the relevant fields. The right-most values overwrites all the others.
This is particularly useful when updating the user's email address from an LDAP source, which may contain the email address in one of several fields (traditionally: mail, mailForwardingAddress, mailAlternateAddress).
If a value is updated and is set to update external auth and this field is using this multi-source ldap configuration, the auth/ldap module will retrieve the old value, find which field it was sourced from, and update that field in LDAP. If it fails to find the original source of the value, it will log it in error_log.

Enrol/LDAP - initial commit, a bit rough around the edges.
This code is in production in a high-volume environment, so it has already proven to be reliable and scalable. Configuration is still tricky, and some corner cases may or may not be handled elegantly.

Enrol/LDAP - DB Patches + version bump
These patches add an 'enrol' column to the user_students and user_teachers tables for the enrolment plugins to be able to keep track of source of the enrolments. Follows similar conventions to the user table with its 'auth' field.

On enrol students to a course page, force searching if too many users to display (controlled by MAX_USERS_PER_PAGE - not previously used and bumped up to 1000 as a more reasonable limit) - trying to put 30,000 users in a drop down menu crashes some browsers

Tweaked class MoodleBlock some. Removed a useless function (how did it get in here?)
and renamed handle_config(), print_config() to config_save(), config_print() for
consistency with the new instance_ functions().

This should increase robustness - some installations have faced problems with the previously used relative references.
This fix should be merged with the stable branch asap
