The existing pattern of using `override_settings(MODULESTORE=...)` prevented
us from having more than one layer of subclassing in modulestore tests.
In a structure like:
@override_settings(MODULESTORE=store_a)
class BaseTestCase(ModuleStoreTestCase):
def setUp(self):
# use store
@override_settings(MODULESTORE=store_b)
class ChildTestCase(BaseTestCase):
def setUp(self):
# use store
In this case, the store actions performed in `BaseTestCase` on behalf of
`ChildTestCase` would still use `store_a`, even though the `ChildTestCase`
had specified to use `store_b`. This is because the `override_settings`
decorator would be the innermost wrapper around the `BaseTestCase.setUp` method,
no matter what `ChildTestCase` does.
To remedy this, we move the call to `override_settings` into the
`ModuleStoreTestCase.setUp` method, and use a cleanup to remove the override.
Subclasses can just defined the `MODULESTORE` class attribute to specify which
modulestore to use _for the entire `setUp` chain_.

Previously, an error was raised if the comments service returned data
including an unexpected field, which unnecessarily complicated the
release path for new features, since the list of allowed fields would
need to be modified before cs_comments_service could be modified, and
only then could edx-platform take advantage of the new CS feature. We
still log a warning if an unexpected field is returned, so we will
still be able to tell if the CS returns a corrupt response.

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]
Some messages generated by the comments service are not readily
translated because they come from third-party libraries. Thus, we plan
to try to avoid showing any comments service generated message to the
user. This check preempts the only end-user-visible CS-generated error
message that we are presently aware of.
This button has been broken for at least a year, so the code has
suffered from bit rot and should be reimplmemented if the feature is
necessary in the short term (which is unlikely since it has been broken
for so long).
Avoid recomputing course module information for every thread, which
should dramatically improve the performance of high-percentile latency
queries.
JIRA: FOR-250
Logging the duration of each request will allow us to determine
whether there is a significant difference in the latency reported by
the comments service and that observed by the LMS. Each request will
be assigned a unique identifier to allow correlation of the reported
latency on each end.
Previously, authentication was done using a URL parameter, which would
appear in various logs. Now, authentication is done more appropriately
with an HTTP header. Note that this requires cs_comments_service commit
cf39aabdd160176ebf206ca19d3ee030161a0b47 or later.
