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.
In production environments, the DiscussionXBlock was generating CSS and
JS asset URLs that pointed to the unminified versions of those bundled
assets. Due to our nginx rules, this would cause the assets to be
served without the long expiration times, forcing the user's browser to
constantly refetch these assets while browsing a course.
[PERF-431]
* Add openedx.core.lib.xblock_builtin.get_css_dependencies and get_js_dependencies,
which respect PIPELINE_ENABLED setting when determining dependencies.
* Move new discussion-related Sass files into discussion subdirectory.
* Use "load_unicode" instead of "render_template" to load JS to add to fragment for DiscussionXBlock.
* Remove unused "course" parameter from context for DiscussionXBlock.student_view.
* Add RTL stylesheet for DiscussionXBlock, and enable the block to load correct stylesheet.
* Load MathJax only once, and include code for configuring MathJax in discussion bundle.
* Make sure username renders correctly in DiscussionXBlock response header.
* Move WYSIWYIG Markdown editor styles to _build-discussion.scss.
* Remove unnecessary import of discussion/utilities/v1-compatibility from _build-discussion.scss.
* Keep courseware-chromeless.html in sync with courseware.html.
* Load CSS for discussions on Teams tab. This makes it possible to remove CSS for discussions from Sass files for "Course" tab.
* Load js/src/tooltip_manager.js, jquery.autocomplete.js and jquery.autocomplete.css on "Course" tab.

Observed Problems:
1. Discussion categories and targets were missing
2. When imported over existing course Discussion IDs have changed unexpectedly - all posts were missing
Solutions:
* Parsing legacy discussion OLX
* Do not force exporting discussion ID
