Serve branded footer JSON/HTML/CSS/JS from an API endpoint
in the branding app. Refactor OpenEdX and EdX.org footer templates
to use the Python version of the API, ensuring that the API
values are consistent with the footer included in main.html.
Detailed changes:
* Added footer API end-point to the branding app.
* Footer API allows the language to be set with querystring parameters.
* Footer API allows showing/hiding of the OpenEdX logo using querystring parameters.
* Deprecate ENABLE_FOOTER_V3 in favor of the branding API configuration flag.
* Move no referrer script into main.html from the edx footer template.
* Rename rwd_header_footer.js to rwd_header.js
* Cache API responses.

This allows course authors to choose between two difference licenses for their
course content: All Rights Reserved, or Creative Commons. In the backend, XBlocks
that wish to allow custom licenses need only inherit from LicenseMixin, which
adds a `license` field as a string.
License information is displayed in the Studio editor view, and just below the
rendered XBlock in the LMS. In addition, if the course block itself has a custom
license set, this license will display just below the main body of the page
on courseware pages.
This entire feature is gated behind the LICENSING feature flag.
Previously, the mobile api did not check for pre-requisite courses
or entrance exams. This change checks for these milestones and then
returns course content accordingly.
Django double-importing overwrites the TESTUSER object, invalidating identity comparisons. Use a string instead to avoid the problem.
The get_current_poc function operates using a threadlocal and so no longer requires the user as an argument
individual students, and a reimplementation of the individual due date
feature.
This work introduces an architecture, used with the 'authored_data'
portion of LmsFieldData, which allows arbitrary field overrides to be
made for fields that are part of the course content or settings (Mongo
data). The basic architecture is extensible by means of writing and
configuring arbitrary field override providers.
One concrete implementation of a field override provider is provided
which allows for overrides to be for individual students. This provider
is then used as a basis for reimplementing the individual due date
extensions feature as a proof of concept for the design.
One can imagine writing override providers that provide overrides based
on a student's membership in a cohort or other similar idea. This work
is being done, in fact, to pave the way for the Personal Online Courses
feature being developed by MIT, which will use an override provider very
much long those lines.
