[Building Sakai] Status of CLE 2.9.3

[Noah Botimer]

Another update:

I have checked this code into trunk at r126908.

Note that this does require a change for existing 
ExternalAssignmentProviders, though the build will not break. There is a 
new method called getAllExternalAssignments that must be implemented for 
full function. Otherwise, the provider will not be able to suppress 
items (because of the necessary complexity of the algorithm).

This new method is defined in the ExternalAssignmentProviderCompat 
interface. Note that the interface may be, but need not be, declared. 
The provider in Lessons is flexible enough to target multiple versions 
of the CLE, so reflection is used to detect the method and call it if 
the interface is not declared -- this avoids requiring different files 
and extra build profiles in Lessons for one method.

The interesting thing about this fix is that the traffic on contrib 
tools needing providers is less relevant. The only time a tool needs to 
implement an ExternalAssignmentProvider is if it adds external items to 
the gradebook and enforces group permissions on them that should be 
reflected in the gradebook. Adding a provider just to get the 2.8-style 
functionality back is no longer required.

Please help test this on trunk and we will merge it to 2.9.x soon 
provided it passes QA.

I have also made this same comment on 
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-23733 for reference.

Thanks,
-Noah
