Description
The Assignment 2.2 activity module has been disabled by default since 2012 but was kept to enable pre-2.2 backups to be restored and have the assignments auto-converted to new assignments.
Let's remove it from Moodle 4.2 and add it to the git repository for anyone who still needs to restore pre-2.2 backups.

What is the Assignment activity?
Assignments allow students to submit work to their teacher for grading. The work may be text typed online or uploaded files of any type the teacher’s device can read. Grading may be by simple percentages or custom scales, or more complex rubrics may be used. Students may submit as individuals or in groups.
