      This was detected when researching about MDL-30340

      Right now it's not possible anymore to define one course-category block to be spread to subcontexts, where such facility was originally available in 20_STABLE.

      So we are going to introduce the "*" (any page) option back for those blocks.

      Note that there is one big issue with these course-category pages and how they have a horrible "duality", sometimes being admin-course-category pages (when editing cats) and page-course-category pages when browsing them. That prevents us to add other pagetypes support for the blocks like "in this coursecat page" or "in all coursecat pages". But luckly, it does not prevent to add the '*' option, so we'll be able to spread the block to children cats/courses/modules.

      To fix the "duality" MDL-30564 has been created (DEV backlog).
