Privacy API update

In addition to existing requirements, any plugin which implements the plugin \ 
provider interface must also implement the \ 
\core_privacy\local\request\core_userlist_provider interface. Two new methods \ 
need to be implemented:

    get_users_in_context()
    delete_data_for_users()

However, the two above methods are not required for plugins that implement the \ 
null_provider only (i.e. which do not store personal data).

Note that these changes are also required for latest Moodle 3.4.6 and 3.5.3 versions.
Behat scenario files

    MDL-57281 - The behat step

    I navigate to "ITEM" node in "MAINNODE > PATH"

    has been deprecated and throws an exception with details on how to replace \ 
it. The recommended replacement steps work in all recent Moodle versions. The \ 
updated Behat will pass with Moodle 3.4 too.

Login token

If your plugin provides an alternative login form (e.g. it is a theme replacing \ 
the default login form template / renderer), the login form must include a new \ 
login token field. For details of required changes, see Login token. Note that \ 
this also affects latest stable branches too.
New core functions

    userdate_htmltime()
