Public bug reported:

In bug #1928270 we introduced the 6 months time frame for keeping a
portfolio locked past the date when a review was done. This was an
intermediate measure until we can implement a more flexible option.

Note: This is unrelated to portfolio submissions. This wishlist item
only for portfolio locking via the 'Portfolio review' block.

The idea is to have a couple of new institution settings:

1. Time frame to lock portfolios and then be able to have a time
selector with days, weeks, months, years as we have for the account
lifetime, for example. Possible description: Select a relative date from
when the portfolio was locked to unlock it again. This relates to the
use of the 'Portfolio review' block when the confirmation of a statement
can lock a portfolio.

Reason for making it an institution setting: Instructors may not know
for how long their institution / organisation has to keep assessment or
certification records. Thus, an institution setting gives the
institution the certainty that it follows its regulation.

2. Option to override the institution setting if an instructor requires
a longer or shorter time frame.

Field label: Allow portfolio locking time override
Default: No
Description (some should go into a help file as it's getting long): Allow the time frame for the locking of portfolios via the 'Portfolio review' block to be changed by the portfolio author or if a template is created, the template creator. Consider carefully whether you want to allow this option or not, especially when you have to keep assessed data for a particular time frame. Portfolio authors can still make copies of locked portfolios, but cannot delete a locked portfolio during the locking time frame.

If a portfolio author can override the locking time frame, a new field
will be displayed to them in the 'Portfolio review' block below the
'Lock portfolio' switch, where they can select the time frame similarly
to #1.

When a portfolio is created on the site level, it inherits the setting
from the site. When it is created on the institution level, it inherits
the setting from the institution. When it is created on the group level,
it inherits the setting from the institution associated with the group.

If a portfolio author is a member in two or more institutions where the
settings are different, the more lenient setting will be available to
them as per general Mahara rule at the moment.
