[APER-3228]
This PR tries to correct bad data on a course update before it enters the system. There are times when we are updating a course (via Studio) and we save bad data that has been persisted and passed to the backend from the CMS's legacy Django template-based frontend.
The bad data doesn't affect the LMS or CMS much, as there is extra logic in the monolith around course pacing. However, downstream services (e.g. Credentials) don't understand the concept of course pacing and will persist bad data (like a certificate available date associated with a self-paced course run).
The most common problem that manifests is that Credentials will hide a certificate from a learner on their Learner Record, even though the course certificate is visible and accessible to the learner from the LMS.
* feat: Add context to certificate webview.
Add support to instructor certificates generation. If user has instructor permissions over a course, the staff permissions are also granted.
* fix: rename local parameters to fix pylint redefined-outer-name alert
* feat: create a setting to enable certificate panel for instructors
* fix: remove unnecessary permisions
* fix: update persmissions and testing
* style: fix pylint issues

* feat: XBlock's children API as DRF

* feat: add share link modal when hide from toc is enabled
Adds a new button in the child subsections of sections with Hide From TOC enabled.
This button displays a new modal with two tabs. The first tab displays a button
that allows you to copy the link of that subsection to the clipboard. The second
tab displays a button that allows you to copy the embedded link of the same
subsection to the clipboard.

Exposes the hide_from_toc xblock attribute so course authors can configure it as a section visibility option in Studio. Before this change, the Hide from TOC functionality was mainly used by OLX components. Hence, it wasn't available for configuration through the Studio UI. Still, its implementation existed in the platform and could be used by setting the attribute: hide_from_toc=true as part of the OLX definition.

This moves the Content Libraries V2 backend from Blockstore [1] over to
Learning Core [2] For high-level overview and rationale of this move, see
the Blockstore DEPR [3]. There are several follow-up tasks [4], most notably
adding support for static assets in libraries.
BREAKING CHANGE: Existing V2 libraries, backed by Blockstore, will stop
working. They will continue to be listed in Studio, but their content
will be unavailable. They need to be deleted (via Django admin) or manually
migrated to Learning Core. We do not expect production sites to be in
this situation, as the feature has never left "experimental" status.

This is a breaking change that will explicitely set the timeout of
course structure cache entries to 1 week, instead of being unlimited. If
you wish to revert to the former behaviour, you should set
`course_structure_cache["TIMEOUT"] = None`.
The course structure cache keys were previously set with an explicit
timeout of `None` which was overriding the cache default timeout of 2h.
This was OK in environments where the cache is configured with a maximum
memory limit and an automatic key eviction strategy. But in others (such
as Tutor), the course structure cache could grow infinitely.
It was agreed that course structure cache keys should be long-lived but
should respect the default cache structure timeout. Thus, we set here
the TTL to 1 week.
We can also configure Tutor to use a cache eviction policy. But that
means we need to set a `maxmemory` value in Redis. It's not possible to
set a value that will be appropriate for everyone:
- if it's higher than the total memory (e.g: in small instances), server
will crash before the cache is filled.
- if it's too low (e.g: in large instances), the whole platform will abruptly
slow down as many cache entries are suddenly evicted.
That question of whether Tutor should define a cache eviction policy is
still under discussion, but it can be resolved independently of this
change.
* chore: update API endpoints to support default JWT auth
The default DRF Auth classes were recently updated to allow for both JWT and Session auth by default. Any endpoint that overrides the AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES but has just session, just JWT or just both of those should be updated to remove the override.

I was trying to test a communication pathway between the CMS and Credentials and requests were failing with the following error:

I have updated the default value of the `CREDENTIALS_INTERNAL_SERVICE_URL` in our devstack settings to use the internal server URL and this fixed the issue.
