SOAP: add method to add objects to Personal Desktop

1 Initial Problem

ILIAS categories and other object types can be created via SOAP, but there is no SOAP method yet to put objects on the Personal Desktop.

2 Conceptual Summary

A new SOAP method is added to set/unset the Personal Desktop flag for an object.

3 User Interface Modifications

This feature does not include any user interface modifications.

4 Technical Information

The new method will receive the following parameters:

• $sid string session of logged in soap user
• $user_id int ILIAS id of user who will receive the desktop items
• $object_reference_ids int[] List of ILIAS reference ids which will be added as "Desktop item"

Test Cases

We do not want manual testing of the SOAP interface but prefer an automatic procedure. Facing the upcoming Service Discovery, we postpone testing of SOAP for 5.4 and hope we can solve this problem with the Service Disco. Test cases in Testrail can be removed.
