We need to do this because when I tride to go to the JSON serializer a
bunch of tests started failing because various parts of our code are
putting things into the session that are not JSON serializable.
We can't keep using the default pickle serializer because it defaluts to
using the highest available protocol and that will cause issues with the
python 2 to 3 upgrade since both will be running in production at the
same time. We need to use a version of the pickle protocol that both
can use interchangably.
We also need to make sure we read with latin1 encoding to make datetimes
work correctly between the two versions of python.
HIGHEST_PROTOCOL will cause it to change when we move from python 2 to 3
and this may cause issues as older machines try to read objects pickeld
with a version of the protocol they don't know.
During deploys, and if we have to roll back are two examples.

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.
* Remove old performance tests that we haven't been running.
As far as I can tell, these tests to capture HAR files were created 5
years ago and not being run as a part of our suite? They capture HAR
data that we do nothing with so even if they were running we should
remove them until we're ready to care about consuming this kind of
information.
* Update password test unicode string.
* Add ugettext translation helper function.
* Fix lambda syntax that is not valid in python 3.
* Fix ur raw strings which his not valid in python 3
* Use edx_six.get_gettext instead of ugettext.
* Fix a few other encoding issues.
* Don't use old form of sorted funciton.
This form which uses a 'cmp' method is not available in python 3.
* Minimum possible changes were made to merge CapaModule & CapaDescriptor into
one ProblemBlock class.
* There are no known changes in behavior.
* CapaModule and CapaDescriptor inherited from a number of classes which inherit
from XModule or XModuleDescriptor but did not depend on them. For all these
classes the methods were moved to mixins which did not inherit from either and
then these mixins were added to ProblemBlock in the order which maintains MRO.

This adds middleware that will create custom parameter metrics in
New Relic to track the size of all the cookies being received for
our domain. The custom fields are "cookies_total_size" and a
separate named parameter for every cookie size, e.g.
"cookies.csrftoken.size".
This is intended to help us track cookie growth and better diagnose
issues where users lose their sessions. It is toggled by the
'request_utils.capture_cookie_sizes' Waffle Flag.
