Subject: [PATCH 38/78] Modified Navigationlib to support categories in My
 Courses

My Courses in the Nav block doesn't support categories by default.
This hack implements a new setting, $CFG->mycoursescollapsecategories,
where an array of category IDs can be spefied.  Any courses appearing in
My Courses that are under these categories will be collapsed underneath them.
If there are several categories in the array with the same name, courses
will be grouped under a single heading.
