    Description

      Regression from MDL-45774

      Until Moodle 2.9, any change to any field on the $user object caused a call to $auth->user_update($old, $new);

      With MDL-45774, several of these were missed, including Language.

      Auth plugins are able to sync such settings with their external source (e.g. ldap, db, custom), and this change breaks that ability.
