BREAKING: get rid of the LegacyWaffle-based CourseWaffleFlag.
Both CourseWaffleFlag and FutureCourseWaffleFlag now use the modern
WaffleFlag as parent class. FutureCourseWaffleFlag left to support ORA
transition to modern waffle.
Switch to the ORA version which supporting new Waffles.
This is a first stage for removing the LegacyWaffle* classes.
LegacyWaffleFlag usage replaced with WaffleFlag;
LegacyWaffleSwitche usage replaced with WaffleSwitch;
New CourseWaffleFlag added to the temporary module __future__ as FutureCourseWaffleFlag;
Updated all the imports to use CourseWaffleFlag from the __future__ module;
BREAKING CHANGE: A number of toggle related constants (e.g. ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_POLICY_PAGE)
changed types. They were strings, and are now toggle instances (e.g. WaffleSwitch). Although the entire
refactor should be self-contained in edx-platform, if any plugins or dependencies were directly
using these constants, they will break. If this is the case, try to find a better publicized way of
exposing those toggles.
The only way to access the legacy courseware is now through the
Studio preview feature (and at some point, when the MFE supports a
preview mode, we can then remove even that).
This drops the courseware.use_legacy_frontend waffle.
This was the "outline tab" view of the course. Preceded by the
course info view, succeeded by the MFE outline tab.
In addition to the course home view itself, this drops related
features:
- Legacy version of Course Goals (MFE has a newer implementation)
- Course home in-course search (MFE has no search)
The old course info view and course about views survive for now.
This also drops a few now-unused feature toggles:
- course_experience.latest_update
- course_experience.show_upgrade_msg_on_course_home
- course_experience.upgrade_deadline_message
- course_home.course_home_use_legacy_frontend
With this change, just the progress and courseware tabs are still
supported in legacy form, if you opt-in with waffle flags. The
outline and dates tabs are offered only by the MFE.

This:
1. Removes the `filestore` property from the `ModuleSystem` in favor of
the `runtime.resources_fs` property.
In the original code, `filestore` is equal to
`DescriptorSystem.runtime.resources_fs`. It's safe to replace it with
`ModuleSystem.runtime.resources_fs` because both runtimes are combined
using the `CachingDescriptorSystem`. It provides the `resources_fs` property
that uses the same file storage.
2. Renames `filestore` argument to `resources_fs` in the `LoncapaSystem`
constructor.
3. Adds the deprecated `filestore` property to the `ModuleSystemShim`
and `RuntimeShim`.
For the dates courseware tab, we no longer respect the
course_home_use_legacy_frontend waffle flag that enabled the
legacy version in Maple.
Instead, we always send the user to the MFE.
MFEs will be required for the Nutmeg release. This dates tab is
the first to fall, but others will follow.

Change has_access to deny 'load' support for Old Mongo courses.
This is in service of dropping support for these ancient
courses and removing legacy code that they rely on.

Deprecates the following attributes from ModuleSystem:
* replace_urls
* replace_course_urls
* replace_jump_to_id_urls
A new ReplaceURLService is created as replacement with a unified replace_urls method
* Adds entrance exam information to the Course Overview object
* Enables hiding other tabs since the get_course_tab_list uses
a Course Overview
* Enables using the entrance exam helper functions to determine
if Entrance exams are being used in this course.
* Posts a message when Entrance Exam is passed to parent container for
usage in the Learning MFE
* Overrides the 'title' field of the courseware tab since the Learning MFE
uses that over the 'name' field.
Previously, the course grade returned would be the stored grade,
which is calculated for all content, not just the visible grades.
(Some grades are not yet released to the learner.)
This fix recalculates the overall grade before sending to the MFE,
so that it doesn't have to recompute it itself (without all the
particular logic that the platform uses when grading).

Previously, course tabs would only be created once and never try to
update the default tabs again. This leads to an issue if you ever want
to add a new tab. With this command, you can now update the default tabs
for all existing courses and new courses will pick it up upon creation
when CourseTabList.initialize_default is called.
Description
This is a follow up to #29058 and #29413. This is the next step in moving part of the modulestore data (the course indexes / "active versions" table) from MongoDB to MySQL.
There are four steps planned in moving course index data to MySQL:
Step 1: create the tables in MySQL, start writing to MySQL + MongoDB ✅ done
Step 2: migrate all remaining courses to MySQL ✅ done
Step 3: switch reads from MongoDB to MySQL (this PR)
Step 4 (much later, once we know this is working well): stop writing to MongoDB altogether.

OpenCraft Jira ticket: MNG-2557
Status
✅ Tested with a large Open edX instance is in progress.
Testing instructions
Try making changes in Studio and verify that they work fine.

* feat: [AA-1206] remove redundant fields from API
Part of a larger effort to clean up the MFE BFF endpoints.
Remove the redundant fields username and course_access, both of which are also available in the course home metadata call.
This is in service of dropping support for these ancient
courses and removing legacy code that they rely on.
Eventually, we'll remove all access. But this is a first step,
to reduce enrolled learners.

`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)
