Fixing RemovedInDjango30Warnings
**Background:** The `django.shortcuts` method `render_to_response` became deprecated in [Django 1.3](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/1.3/), when `render` was introduced.
Per the documentation:
> render() is the same as a call to render_to_response() with a context_instance argument that forces the use of a RequestContext.
Both return an `HttpResponse` object.
**Context:** We changed two statements: An import line and the call to the method, adding explicit parameter names to improve readability.
**Before:**
```
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render_to_response
...
return render_to_response("teams/teams.html", context)
```
**After**
```
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render
...
return render(
request=request,
template_name="teams/teams.html",
context=context
)
```
This patch improves on the user locked
out logic by providing a helping message
near locked out. This would help reduce
retries by giving user the option to use
password reset flow to fix the issue.

Introduces the learning_sequences app, intended to provide metadata for
sequences and course outlines. The short term goal is to provide faster
source of this information for the new Courseware microfrontend
(frontend-app-learning). The medium term goal is to provide an in-proc
API that is useful to other parts of the platform that need fast access
to course outline information customized for a user. The long term
goals are outlined in the README.rst.
This first iteration of the API only lays out the basic structure for
how we'd arrange the pieces, with enough of an implementation to feel
"real" (simple schedules, staff_only content hiding). It's not ready to
be turned on, and is not currently plugged into the publish-flow. The
only way to get data into this new API is via the update_course_outline
management command. The REST endpoint is also currently limited to
global staff only, though it's possible to get the outline for a student
by using the ?username= query parameter.

** This removes some of the extra
celery calls to credential service for
updating grade when a certificate is updated.
** This removes extra db calls
by reusing existing queryset values.

The content highlights code assumed due dates existed on all
sections. But we recently broke that assumption. So now we
recalculate the spread of sections across the expected duration
ourselves rather than rely on due dates.
