  the user under whose identity Autocreate.pl is being run has an active DC
  role in the domain.

- Correct path to &process_official_reqs().

- Set %env and permissions for original calling style (i.e., via args to Autocreate.pl call in /etc/cron.d/loncapa
  (doesn't use domain configuration).

&process_official_reqs() moved to interface/loncoursequeueadmin.pm to facilitate reuse.

- Extend Autocreate.pl so it can be called without command line arguments
  (e.g., via a cron entry), with behavior controlled by Domain Configuration.
- No change from pre-2.9 behavior when called with command line arguments
  (original implementation): /home/httpd/perl/Autocreate.pl $dom $uname:$udom
- New routines:
   - &process_xml() to create courses defined in XML files in
     /home/httpd/perl/tmp/addcourse/$dom/auto/pending/
   - &process_official_reqs() to create official courses for which requestor
     is validated as instructor or record  - queued (awaiting validation)
     in /home/httpd/lonUsers/$dom/$1/$2/$3/$dom-domainconfig/courserequestqueue.db.

- &escape() was moved from lonnet.pm to LONCAPA.pm some time ago.

lonparmset.pm
- Users allowed to clone course:
  - can use wildcards (*:domain and *) for unrestricted cloning within a domain, and unrestricted cloning in all domains respectively.
  - warning messages about invalid data separated into (a) invlaid format, invalid domain, non-existent user.

loncommon.pm
- cloning rights check accommodates wildcards.
- let the user know the course was not created, when the specified course to clone was non-existent, or cloning rights were missing.

Autocreate.pl
- improve format of logged messages.

batchcreatecourse.pm
- Since loncommon::construct_course() now terminates course creation when cloning rights check is not passed, early out to stop user creation and attempted enrollment in an uncreated course.

- move clone authorization check from loncreatecourse.pm to loncommon.pm
- more information stored in autocreation log
- include context as argument in loncommon::commit_standardrole and commit_studentrole
  to set appropriate line feeds (with/without <br /> for web/auto context).
- more information displayed on screen after course creation from uploaded attributes file (XML)
- language handler for Autocreate.pl
