This is a tricky one, because of those blocks with the artefact detail
page linked in the block title. We need to make the artefact detail page
accessible, because that's where artefact comments and the "report
objectionable" link are. But at the same time, making the title a link
is no good, because users expect to be able to click on it to
expand/collapse the block.

Ultimately, after consulting with Evonne, we decided that the best thing
to do would be to move the link to a non-intrusive little magnifying
glass icon next to the title. I considered doing this only for
collapsible blocks (because the title link doesn't pose a problem for
non-collapsible blocks), but that made for an inconsistent and confusing
experience. So instead, the magnifying glass is now there for all blocks
that have a "title link".

I've pushed a series of commits to implement this.

Title:
  Make block title retract/expand collapsible blocks

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is a feature suggestion from SWITCH in Switzerland.

  1. Create a page
  2. Put a collapsible block on the page
  3. View the page
  4. Try to click on the block title to expand/collapse the block

  Desired result: It should expand/collapse the block

  Actual result: It either does nothing, or if the block is an artefact
  block that makes its title into a link, it takes you to the artefact
  detail page.

  The current behavior is rather non-intuitive. In most other websites
  with collapsible sections, the section title can be clicked on to
  expand/collapse the section. Currently in Mahara, only the arrow icon
  does the job. And the case where it takes you to the artefact detail
  page is extra bad, because the user wasn't trying or expecting to
  leave the current page.
