- The fields need to be unicode not bytes. In python 2 it was auto
converting.
- The static url base has been allowed to be a unicode string for a
while.

This introduces:
* A new XBlock runtime that can read and write XBlocks that are persisted using
Blockstore instead of Modulestore. The new runtime is currently isolated so
that it can be tested without risk to the current courseware/runtime.
* Content Libraries v2, which store XBlocks in Blockstore not modulestore
* An API Client for Blockstore
* "Learning Context" plugin API. A learning context is a more abstract concept
than a course; it's a collection of XBlocks that serves some learning purpose.
Some deprecated functionality has been removed:
- Reading data field and transforms being applied in the init() method.
- The source field.
- The source_visible attribute.
The JWT_COOKIES_FLAG was a temporary flag used for rollout of the new
JWT cookies. These are live in Production, so we are removing the flag.
Without this flag, we set JWT cookies during login. However, this
requires an oAuth Client that isn't always available during unit tests.
We introduced a feature flag that is only used for unit tests to
disable setting the JWT cookies. The code explains a bit more why this
solution was selected over adding the oauth client to the database.
ARCH-247
relied on the old configuration values and old way of validating
passwords. Also improved registration page by always showing error
messages rather than hiding them on leaving the field.
