MDL-22920 added support for easily loading custom YUI modules (aka Moodle YUI modules) via the new yui_module function. This function causes these modules to get loaded via yui_combo.php (regardless of the useexternalyui or yuicomboloading settings).

Currently, yui_combo.php does not support caching or revisions. Originally this wasn't necessary as YUI and YUI Galleries (the only JS previously loaded by yui_combo) had their own versioning. Moodle YUI modules need to be versioned so they can be cached effectively and still updated when purging caches.

The attached patch adds support for including $CFG->jsrev in the yui_combo URLs for Moodle YUI modules. The $CFG->cachejs setting is also supported.

I did not add cachejs or jsrev support to YUI modules as it has its own built in versioning. Similarly I didn't modify YUI Galleries as yui_module already supports gallery versions. This means that if cachejs is off, YUI modules and YUI Galleries will still be far-future cached. Only Moodle YUI modules will not be cached if cachejs is off. I think this is what should happen because YUI modules should only be changed upstream.
