Discrepancies between plugins declared in get_plugin_types() and detected by get_db_directories()

Description

Right now we have one core function:

get_plugin_types()

that returns all the plugins supported by moodle. It's used in upgrade code to look for upgrades under all plugins.

In the other side, we have the function:

get_db_directories()

that returns all the directories where we can found database install/upgrade scripts (used by the xmldb editor, database manager...)

And right now, both functions are 100% separate, having to keep such lists maintained manually.

Solution: Let's modify get_db_directories() in order to use get_plugin_types() to know about all the dirs being candidates to have install/upgrade/xmldb editor... scripts recognising the same plugins always.

Done, now get_db_directories() is using get_plugin_types(), so the latter is the only place where supported plugins and paths need to be defined.

Resolving as fixed. Ciao
