The Webpack configuration file for built-in XBlock JS used to be
generated at build time and git-ignored. It lived at
common/static/xmodule/webpack.xmodule.config.js. It was generated
because the JS that it referred to was also generated at build-time, and
the filenames of those JS modules were not static.
Now that its contents have been made entirely static [1], there is no
reason we need to continue generating this Webpack configuration file.
So, we check it into edx-platform under the name
./webpack.builtinblocks.config.js. We choose to put it in the repo's
root directory because the paths contained in the config file are
relative to the repo's root.
This allows us to behead both the xmodule/static_content.py
(`xmodule_assets`) script andthe `process_xmodule_assets` paver task, a
major step in removing the need for Python in the edx-platform asset
build [2]. It also allows us to delete the `HTMLSnippet` class and all
associated attributes, which were exclusively used by
xmodule/static_content.py..
We leave `xmodule_assets` and `process_xmodule_assets` in as stubs for
now in order to avoid breaking external code (like Tutor) which calls
Paver; the entire pavelib/assets.py function will be eventually removed
soon anyway [3]. Further, to avoid extraneous refactoring, we keep one
method of `HTMLSnippet` around on a few of its former subclasses:
`get_html`. This method was originally part of the XModule framework;
now, it is left over on a few classes as a simple internal helper
method.

* refactor: moves is_content_creator
from cms.djangoapps.contentstore.helpers to common.djangoapps.student.auth
* feat: adds content tagging app
Adds models and APIs to support tagging content objects (e.g. XBlocks,
content libraries) by content authors. Content tags can be thought of as
"name:value" fields, though underneath they are a bit more complicated.
* adds dependency on openedx-learning<=0.1.0
* adds tagging app to LMS and CMS
* adds content tagging models, api, rules, admin, and tests.
* content taxonomies and tags can be maintained per organization by
content creators for that organization.
This is an experimental approach to introduce a role which has all Course Staff
permissions, except for the Studio access.

This re-applies commit 36cc415 with handling an invalid context_key in the
`PartitionService`. It can happen when rendering a `LibraryContentBlock` in
Studio because this service is initialized by the modulestore when validating
an XBlock to gather its error messages in the `studio_xblock_wrapper`.
`module-js` and `module-descriptor-js` are old JavaScript group
indicators, left over from when we managed XModule assets via Django
Pipeline. We would like to get rid of them in order to make it easier to
build XModule JS without using Python.
There is one single usage of `module-js` in the entire platform (the
rest have been replaced with Webpack references, which is the
less-outdated way of managing XModule assets :). The lone `module-js`
reference was added in 2013 [1] so that circuit diagrams would display
in the course wiki. However, the ability to render circuits in the wiki
was removed in 2015 [2], so it is safe to remove the reference.
There is also one single usage of `module-descriptor-js`. It's in the
legacy bulk email editor, which hackily cribs from the old HtmlBlock
editor. Fortunately, we are able to simply replace the Django Pipeline
reference with the equivalent XModule JS Webpack bundle. (Note: The old
email editor is currently still supported, but is currently being
replaced by frontend-app-communications, so this hack will be gone
eventually).
Finally, this commit also sneaks in one styling fix: it adds the
HtmlBlockEditor CSS back to the aforementioned legacy bulk email page.
The missing CSS was causing a read-only 1-line codemirror editor to
appear below the HTML editor [3]. This bug was introduced during the
original XModule SCSS decoupling [4], which removed builtin block CSS
from the LMS-wide bundle, thus removing the HTML editor CSS from the
bulk email page. We imagine that nobody noticed because the bug only
exists in master (not Palm) and frontend-app-communications seems to be
globally enabled on edx.org. As a simple fix, we add the new CSS link to
the legacy bulk email page, and it renders fine again [5].

This adds the ability to get a list of detailed courses based on their
keys provided in the newly added `keys` query param in the `GET /courses/v1/courses/`
endpoint.
The message was being double-escaped by React with the
StatusAlertRenderer. This fixes the problem by removing the
first layer of HTML-escaping so it is only escaped once.
The original tests looked like helpers,
but we are guessing that they were supposed
to be tests.
Additionally, one test had a small bug as written.
It would be more resilient to actually parse the
JSON, but that work is being left for a later time.
For now, it works, but is not resilient.

In ~Palm and earlier, all built-in XBlock Sass was included into LMS and CMS
styles before being compiled. The generated CSS was coupled together with
broader LMS/CMS CSS. This means that comprehensive themes have been able to
modify built-in XBlock appearance by setting certain Sass variables. We say that
built-in XBlock Sass was, and is expected to be, "theme-aware".
Shortly after Palm, we decoupled XBlock Sass from LMS and CMS Sass [1]. Each
built-in block's Sass is now compiled into two separate CSS targets, one for
block editing and one for block display. The CSS, now located at
`common/static/css/xmodule`, is injected into the running Webpack context with
the new `XModuleWebpackLoader`. Built-in XBlocks already used
`add_webpack_to_fragment` in order to add JS Webpack bundles to their view
fragments, so when CSS was added to Webpack, it Just Worked.
This unlocked a slieu of simplifications for static asset processing [2];
however, it accidentally made XBlock Sass theme-*unaware*, or perhaps
theme-confused, since the CSS was targeted at `common/static/css/xmodule`
regardless of the theme. The result of this is that **built-in XBlock views will
use CSS based on the Sass variables _last theme to be compiled._** Sass
variables are only used in a handful of places in XBlocks, so the bug is subtle,
but it is there for those running off of master. For example, using edX.org's
theme on master, we can see that there is a default blue underline in the Studio
sequence nav [3]. With this bugfix, it becomes the standard edX.org
greenish-black [4].
This commit makes several changes, firstly to fix the bug, and secondly to leave
ourselves with a more comprehensible asset setup in the `xmodule/` directory.
* We remove the `XModuleWebpackLoader`, thus taking built-in XBlock Sass back
out of Webpack.
* We compile XBlock Sass not to `common/static/css/xmodule`, but to:
* `[lms|cms]/static/css` for the default theme, and
* `<THEME_ROOT>/[lms|cms]/static/css`, for any custom theme.
This is where the comprehensive theming system expects to find themable
assets. Unfortunately, this does mean that the Sass is compiled twice, both
for LMS and CMS. We would have liked to compile it once to somewhere in the
`common/`, but comprehensive theming does not consider `common/` assets to be
themable.
* We split `add_webpack_to_fragment` into two more specialized functions:
* `add_webpack_js_to_fragment` , for adding *just* JS from a Webpack bundle,
and
* `add_sass_to_fragment`, for adding static links to CSS compiled themable
Sass (not Webpack). Both these functions are moved to a new module
`xmodule/util/builtin_assets.py`, since the original module
(`xmodule/util/xmodule_django.py`) didn't make a ton of sense.
* In an orthogonal bugfix, we merge Sass `CourseInfoBlock`, `StaticTabBlock`,
`AboutBlock` into the `HtmlBlock` Sass files. The first three were never used,
as their styling was handled by `HtmlBlock` (their shared parent class).
* As a refactoring, we change Webpack bundle names and Sass module names to be
less misleading:
* student_view, public_view, and author_view: was `<Name>BlockPreview`, is now
`<Name>BlockDisplay`.
* studio_view: was `<Name>BlockStudio`, is now `<Name>BlockEditor`.
* As a refactoring, we move the contents of `xmodule/static` into the existing
`xmodule/assets` directory, and adopt its simper structure. We now have:
* `xmodule/assets/*.scss`: Top-level compiled Sass modules. These could be
collapsed away in a future refactoring.
* `xmodule/assets/<blocktype>/*`: Resources for each block, including both JS
modules and Sass includes (underscore-prefixed so that they aren't
compiled). This structure maps closely with what externally-defined XBlocks
do.
* `xmodule/js` still exists, but it will soon be folded into the
`xmodule/assets`.
* We add a new README [4] to explain the new structure, and also update a
docstring in `openedx/lib/xblock/utils` which had fallen out of date with
reality.
* Side note: We avoid the term "XModule" in all of this, because that's
(thankfully) become a much less useful/accurate way to describe these blocks.
Instead, we say "built-in XBlocks".
