The IDDE implementation relied on a StudentModule being created for a
particular block in order to set the extended due date on that block.
Since StudentModules seem to be created on demand whenever data is
written to an attribute with Scope.user_state, it meant that if a
homework problem hadn't yet been touched by a student it was possible
that the due date extension wouldn't take effect for that problem, even
if the due date extension was successfully set for the parent unit.
This patch fixes this problem by creating new StudentModules as
necessary in order to make sure extended due dates propogate properly to
all problems in a unit.
This commit adds the non-courseware lms/djangoapps and lms/lib.
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]
Adds a feature to the edX platform which allows instructors to set
individual due dates for students on particular coursework. This code is
meant primarily for on-campus use--it is not intended that this feature
would be used for MOOCs. It adds a new tab, "Extensions", to the beta
instructor dashboard which allows changing due dates per student. This
feature is enabled by setting FEATURES['INDIVIDUAL_DUE_DATES'] = True.
