The course_visiblity field can have one of three values:
1. private (default): This keeps the standard access rules.
2. public_outline: Allows unenrolled and anonymous users access to the outline.
3. public: Allows unenrolled and anonymous users access to both outline and
course content.
When an unenrolled user accesses course content, instead of student_view(),
public_view() is used. A default implementation is provided for XBlocks
which do not implement this view. The public_view() must not have any
functionality which assumes the presence of a valid User and should show
a readonly only interface for the XBlock content.
Implementation for DE-1089.
Centralize the definition of context into a single method. This is in
common/djangoapps/track because the context is originally set there by
middleware.

Content Type Gating: Xblocks that have a graded component cannot be
accessed by audit track users.
- Caveats:
- In studio, instructors can set certain xblocks to be available to
all users, but graded components will default to not being
available for audit users
- If a course does not have a verified mode option, all users will
have access to graded content.
The Waffle Flag: The waffle flag is of for now.
It's name is: ```content_type_gating.debug```
This Commit Does NOT Include: Displaying for a user WHY they do not have
access to a specific piece of content. That change will be part of
another PR.
relied on the old configuration values and old way of validating
passwords. Also improved registration page by always showing error
messages rather than hiding them on leaving the field.
