    mod/resource: MDL-18691 allow custom resource types to specify their name in their own lang directory
    
    Before this change, the full name of the resource type had to be stored in the "resource" namespace (for example in /mod/resource/lang/en_utf8/resource.php).
    
    Now it can be put in the "resource_foo" namespace:
    
    e.g. in /mod/resource/type/foo/lang/en_utf8/resource_foo.php:
    
    <?php
      $string['resourcetypefoo'] = 'Link to a Foo Bar document';
    ?>
