Based on further input from the community about the feedback link feature we want to disable it by default and alert the admin to the feature so that they can choose to enable it if they would like their users to participate in providing feedback to Moodle.

This provides admins and sites with full control over whether they will expose their users to this feature.

Requirements:

1. Disable the feedback link feature by default

2. After install/upgrade display the following message to the admin in the admin notifications page:

Moodle 3.9 includes a new feature that allows your users to opt in to provide feedback directly to Moodle Pty Ltd using an external survey site hosted by Moodle. This allows Moodle to collect feedback about the Moodle product and does not forward any user-identifying information.

Moodle strives to be open, and transparent about its data collection practices so we want to make sure that you are aware and in control of this functionality.

Enabling this feature would be of great benefit in assisting Moodle to continuously improve our product. If you'd like to opt in, please enable this feature.

Where the last word 'feature' links to the feedback settings feature page.

3. Amend the text on the settings page from:

If enabled, a 'Give feedback' link is displayed in a Dashboard alert and in the footer for users to give feedback about the Moodle LMS to Moodle HQ. The Dashboard alert also has a 'Remind me later' option.

To:

If enabled, a 'Give feedback' link is displayed in the footer for users to give feedback about the Moodle LMS to Moodle HQ. If the 'Next feedback reminder' option is set, the user is also shown a reminder on the Dashboard at the interval you specify. Setting 'Next feedback reminder' to 'Never' disables the Dashboard reminder, while leaving the 'Give feedback' link in the footer. 

4. Depending on complexity/risk of doing this following install/upgrade: send the notification message also in a direct message to the admin. Optional given the very short time to 3.9 release
