InstallStorage and ExtensionInstallStorage need update for documentation standards and getFolders() is a bad name

Problem/Motivation

From #2184387: Remove SchemaStorage → . InstallStorage::getAllFolders() is a misleading method name:

getAllFolders() is a very confusing method name, assumed that it returns folders, but it returns an array keyed by configuration files with the folder as value.

Proposed resolution

Rename the method.

Remaining tasks

  • Choose a new name.
  • Rename the method in InstallStorage and its child classes. (Novice task)

API changes

InstallStorage::getAllFolders() is renamed. (This method is protected; therefore, this is not a public API change and does not need a change record.)

Original report by @alexpott →

Over in #2184387: Remove SchemaStorage → @berdir remarked that getFolders is poorly named. I agree.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
