Bug Description

This bugs me every time I do a clean Mahara install (which as a developer, tends to be several times a day). The list of plugins on the install page is vertically longer than my browser window. And, since I have $cfg->productionmode=false, this list gets pushed further and further down the page by the log_info() notices that show up at the top of the page. Even with productionmode=true, the tickmarks on each line expand the line a bit, which causes enough page expansion to move the bottom of the list off of the page.

As a result, there's no quick visual indicator of when the install process is complete. I have to keep manually scrolling down as it goes, or just go away and come back some time later.

Moodle's installer/updater has the handy functionality that when it's done, it leaps you to the bottom of the page where the "Continue" link is. I'd like to see the same in Mahara.

I guess technically this is a new feature. But I'd prefer to push it into all the stable versions because:

1. It's a very minor change -- only one line of code
2. It only affects new installations, so it won't have any effect on existing users.
