Moodle XML question export/import does not include question-category idnumbers

      The automated test coverage should be sufficient. If you want to test manually:

      1. Create a test course.
      2. Create a question category, and set its idnumber to 'catid'.
      3. Create a question in that category.
      4. Export the category in Moodle XML format.
      5. Create another course.
      6. Import the file you just exported into the question bank of the new course.
      7. Go to Question bank -> Categoryies and edit the imported category information.
      8. Verify that the imported category has idnumber 'catid'.

      (You could also, after step 4, look at the context of the export file and verify that it contains 'catid' in the right place.)

    Description

      It looks like when MDL-62708 was done, export/import of category idnumbers was missed out. (Possibly because fixing MDL-23545 was a necessary prerequisite and had to be done at the same time.)

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create a test course.
      2. Create a question category, and set its idnumber to 'catid'.
      3. Create a question in that category.
      4. Export the category in Moodle XML format.

      Expected result: the export file contains <idnumber>catid</idnumber> in the block of XML relating to the category.

      Actual result: no category idnumbers in the file. (Question idnumbers work.)
