      In order to support offline quizzes in the Mobile app several changes are required (see spec here):

      Add two new options for enabling quizzes offline and for forcing a quiz to be attempted only in Moodle web.

      • Allow quiz to be attempted offline in the mobile app (allowofflineattempts)
      • Don't allow quiz to be attempted in the mobile app (forbidmobileattempts)

      This options won't be displayed if the Mobile service is not enabled in the site (in this way we don't add additional options to the quiz)

      Add a new field in the quiz_attempts table to keep track of the last time a quiz was attempted via the app (web services): timemodifiedws
