MDL-47426 assign local roles: rewrite query for better performance.

This is an extremely dangerous query, because it includes the user
table twice, along-side two other potentially large tables,
role_assignments and user_enrolments.

The solution is to rewrite the query so that:

1. The subquery is JOINed, not WHERE ... INed. Typically query
   optimisers handle the JOIN case better.

2. Before the join was role-assignments <-> users <-> subquery.
   That is, everything was linked to u.id.

   Now the linking is role-assignments <-> subquery <-> users,
   so the SELECT DISTINT eu1_u.id FROM {enrolled users} is central.
   That seems to send a strong hint to the query optimiser about
   a good order to execute the query.
MDL-28075 question editing: sort out nav bar when editing in a quiz

If you edited a question from the Edit quiz page in a quiz, the navigation
bar was far too long. This was due to some odd code that was trying too
hard to be clever.

Instead, editing a question is now always treated as being logically within
the question bank for the purposes of navigation. That is, even if the
returnurl will end up taking you back to where you where when you have finished.
MDL-28075 question editing: tidy code

Remove an unnecessary else (the if, and else if, always end in a redirect)
and unindent that code.

MDL-46182 Inefficient query during Moodle upgrade on course_section table.

This part of the code is changing an index on the course_sections table to be unique, for this to happen in the upgrade script the index must be deleted and then the new version added.

Before this change the following was being done:

* The index is removed
* A query to delete records that were not unique on this index is performed
* The unique version of the index is added

After this change the following happens:

* A query to delete records that were not unique on this index is performed
* The index is removed
* The unique version of the index is added

When the original index is present the query uses it, which greatly improves the execution plan.

Before the change an upgrade on a site with around 387967 course_section records the upgrade would be stuck on the delete query for many hours, after the change the time can be measured in minutes.
