`videosequence` and `problemset` have been replaced with `sequential`.
`problemset` and `videosequence` are old-but-not-entirely-unused aliases to the `sequential` block type (in Studio-speak, "Subsection").
Since [these block types have been removed from the 6 courses that used them](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-151?focusedCommentId=588197), this ticket removes the support for the `problemset` and `videosequence` block-types.
For more information, see ticket: [DEPR-151](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-151)
A "section" tag in an OLX upload used to map to the
SemanticSectionDescriptor, which translated it into a Sequence
("sequential" tag). This is both obscure and confusing, since it uses
language that predates Studio. Back in the LMS prototype days,
"section" was inconsistently used to be interchangeable with "sequence"
and "sequential", and what Studio today calls a "section" was called a
"chapter". Bits of this legacy terminology are still around in the
courseware rendering code.
The upshot is that if you make an OLX tag "section" before this commit,
it would not map to what we call a "Section" in all our documentation,
but to a "Subsection"; furthermore, if that <section> only had one child
element, the node would be replaced with its singular child, removing
the <section> node from the course tree entirely.
The fact that you can make a "section" OLX tag
at all is nowhere in our documentation because courses haven't been
written that way since late 2011 or early 2012.
SemanticSectionDescriptor came up as part of the XModule ->
XBlock conversion efforts as a legacy XModule that isn't worth
converting. With the removal of this class, all XBlocks
in edx-platform are "pure" XBlocks, ending our reliance
on the XModule-to-XBlock shimming infrastructure.
This commit also removes the process_includes decorator, which was only
used for "section" tags. This does NOT delete the ProblemBlock-specific
<include> tag, which is still supported (if obscure).
There is a chance that through tribal knowledge or copy-paste, some
section tags survive in the wild of old edX courses. It's difficult for
us to assess because by its nature, this tag doesn't just say
"section", but instead actually does the mutation on import so it's
stored as "sequential" in the modulestore–therefore things like
CourseGraph can't detect it.
The fix for any such XML-authored courses is:
* For instances of <section> that wrap a single child node,
replace the <section> node in favor of its child node.
* For instances of <section> that wrap a sequence of children,
substitute <section> with <sequential>
Note that "<section>" is a valid HTML tag
type and so may show up in any component that can contain HTML and is
unrelated to the course structure OLX tag alias "<section>" that this
commit removes.

This changes logic to allow more missed use cases of course_image to
work properly. The cases are:
. XML courses with the course_image attribute set
. Mongo courses that are imported without a contentstore
. Mongo courses that have course_image set but don't have a content store
It also exports default images_static_course.jpg to
images/static_course.jpg to handle a use case where a course author
uploaded an image to the default location in studio without using the
studio interface for adding course images, they then export the course, and then
import it without a contentstore
-- Changed docstrings to use double quote.
-- More consistent naming for youtube IDs (normal_speed_id -> youtube_id_1_0).
-- Formatting changes for readability.
-- Updated test XML to expect JSON-encoded strings; prevents tests from spuriously failing.
TODO:
* need unique slugs for errors so they don't overwrite each other on export.
- try to preserve origin slug. If not possible, generate random one.
* figure out what metadata to strip. e.g.
({'data': '<problem><p><h1>Finger Exercise 1...'},
{'data': '<problem points="1" type="lecture"><p><h1>Finger Exercise 1...'},
False)
- where did points and type come from? Do we want them there?
* separate broken and non-broken test courses
* More tests for mongo modulestore, including tweaks to test files
* add location_to_id method to CourseDescriptors
* Implement path_to_location method in mongo.py
- TODO: does not handle position in sequences yet.
* fix bug in jump_to view.
* Clean up test data for simple, toy courses
* clean up test_mongo.py
* write initial test for path_to_location
* hook up view to use path_to_location
Next: actually implement it :)
