MDL-71577 qbank_viewquestiontype: Add View question type plugin to core

This implementation will introduce a qbank plugin "viewquestiontype"
which will view the question type column in the question bank view
by replacing the core class. Having this plugin will give users
the flexibility of enabling or disabling the question type
in the question bank view.
