Public bug reported:

In Mahara 1.10 we split the old "text box" artefact & block into two
blocks: "note", which is backed by a "note" artefact type that retains
the full "Text box" functionality, and "text", which is meant to be a
dead-simple easy-to-use text displayer.

We also added an admin screen to allow admins to optionally go through
and convert all the text boxes that weren't using advanced functionality
(attachments, placement in multiple pages) and turn them into "text"
blocks.

On a large client site, this was taking so long, that I decided it would
be better to turn it into a command-line script. I've open this bug, to
upstream that command-line script.
