This commit updates common/djangoapps.
These keys are now objects with a limited interface, and the particular
internal representation is managed by the data storage layer (the
modulestore).
For the LMS, there should be no outward-facing changes to the system.
The keys are, for now, a change to internal representation only. For
Studio, the new serialized form of the keys is used in urls, to allow
for further migration in the future.

[LMS-2370]
* API endpoint for certificate generation, an authenticated post with course
id requests that grading be carried out and a cert generated for
request.user in that course, using the usual grading and certificate
machinery (ie, it does not imply whitelisting, though whitelists and
blacklists will be respected)
- Logs each request as it comes in
- Calls xq.add_cert() and consequently, does grading synchronously on
this app host and then queues request for certificate agent.
- example usage:
```
curl --data "student_id=9999&course_id=Stanford/2013/Some_Class" http://127.0.0.1:8000/request_certificate
```
* Studio advanced setting added, "certificates_show_before_end", which
determines whether a course should permit certificates to be downloadable
by students before the coures's end date has passed.
- Modifications to dashboard view and templates to allow display of
certificate download links before course has ended.
(XXX: may declare failing students as failing before the course has ended.)
- To test, turn the setting on in a course which hasn't ended yet, and
force certificate generation for a student, then check their
dashboard.
Also improves handling in cases where account creation did succeed, but
comments service user creation did not.
Depends on commit 88abdd8a0b20bc9816f487b25abdea1953f5661d in https://github.com/edx/cs_comments_service

This is necessary to allow non-browser-based services (e.g. notifier)
to know a user's preferred language even if the user has not explicitly
selected one.
Allows specification of countries to embargo, what course(s) should
apply embargo restrictions, and whitelist/blacklist capability for
specific individual IP addresses.
Adds configurable middleware in common/djangoapps/embargo that
allows specific courses to comply with US Export regulations by
embargoing students from specific countries, whilst simultaneously
allowing other courses to be freely open to all.
