Revision of Settings in ILIAS Test

1 Initial Problem

The settings in the Settings Tabs of the ILIAS Test Object are not up to date anymore (last big revision was in 2015) and a lot has changed since then.

This means that some settings should be removed when no longer or hardly in use, should be restructured according to interdependencies, logic etc.

They should be re-labelled and also phrased in a gender-neutral way:
we want the complex and enormous scope of the Test Object and its settings to be as easy and clear as they can possibly be at the moment.
Of course this has to be consistent with other settings in ILIAS.

The Setting-Tabs-Cleaners-Group has started working on this together with the maintainer and suggests the following.

2 Conceptual Summary

2.1 Create new test

2.2 Settings: General

2.3 Settings: Mark Schema

2.4 Settings: Scoring and Results

• Remove 'Multiple Choice Questions with Empty Answer'
  This setting is not applicable to new tests and hardly used at all, see Mantis Issue 0032387

• Abandon Setting 'Scored Answers of Participant'
  See FR Abandon Setting Scored Answers on single pages

• Restructuring and re-labelling options to show users their results
  See FR Change Setting to show users their results in ILIAS Test
  
  --> obsolet with PR 4995 in ILIAS 8 and the release of ILIAS 9

• Abandon 'Feedback' setting
  Feedback should only be displayed during the execution, not in the result view.
  See FR Abandon Feedback in Test Results
  --> declined by the JF

• Abandon option 'Item Analysis Export for Pure Single Choice Tests'
  Setting has become superfluous.
  See FR Abandon Item Analysis Export for Pure Single Choice Tests
  
  --> Removed with ILIAS 9

• 0033680: Change Order of Settings in "Scoring and Results" / Änderung der Reihenfolge und Anordnung von Einstellung in Auswertung
  The Working Group "Überarbeitung Einstellungsreiter" has investigated the sub view "Scoring and Results" as an effort for the Project ILIAS.NRW.
  
  In discussions with the product manager @mkunkel, we decided to rename some options, change bylines and reorder some settings. We agreed that we wanted to break up unnecessary nesting.
  
  --> This is implemented with ILIAS 8 with Mantis Issue 33680 and PR 4995.
