- Bug 6518
  - Exam blocks can also block access to specified folders and/or resources
    for the duration of an exam.
  - Start time for blocking can be based on activation of the timer for
    a specific timed quiz item (map or resource-specific). End time for
    blocking is then start time plus the duration of the timed interval.

lonnet.pm:
  - &rolesinit() now returns an array containing references to hashes
    for the following: userroles, firstaccenv, timerintenv.
  - New db file: timerinterval.db contains interval which applied when
    user activated timer for a map or resource for which time limit applied.
    - needed to determine end time for exam blocks which are triggered by
      timer activation.
   - New routine &get_comm_blocks() used to get communication/collaboration
     blocks from a course.  Now cached for 10 minutes in memcached.
   - New routine: &has_comm_blocking() used to determine if exam block
     applies to display of requested content item in a course. Used by
     &allowed().
   - new routine: &check_docs_block() used by &has_comm_blocking().

loncommon.pm:
   - new items added to user's environment by &init_user_environment()
      - $env{'course.courseid.firstaccess.symb'} and
        $env{'course.courseid.timerinterval.symb'} where symb is the symb
        of the resource or map which provides the activation-based block
        for access to specific content.

blockedaccess.pm:
  - now called when access to content is blocked by an exam block.
    duration, and setter of block now available in pop-up from:
    &loncommon::blocking_status() for this type of access control.
