/**
 * This script allows the number of sections in a course to be increased or decreased, redirecting to the course page.
 *
 * CHANGES:
 *  - Use section info instead of section number.
 *  - Specify the insertion location as the new section's parent ID, rather than the new section's section number.
 *  - Specify the new section's level.
