The `may_certify` function is used to determine whether a learner should
be able to see that their certificate is ready. It is therefore entirely
in the certificates domain. This remove may_certifiy and
may_certify_for_course from the xmodule and course_overview
apps and into the certificates app. The xmodule may_certify was not called
outside of tests prior to this, and the other's were easily moved.
In order to avoid circular imports, this also moved
certificate_info_for_user out of the model code and into an API
Instead of having json errors in transcript acquisition and conversion cause errors, have transcription conversion and acquisition simply return an error message in the transcription which can prompt a change from the user.
Although not uploading a transcript is handled, transcripts can often cause errors in edit, export, and other activities due to json errors. These errors block the entire use of these features, so to allow for reupload, etc, we add an error message instead of transcript and log the event.

Testing: Unit tests coverage is included in the PR. Upload, import, and export of courses with transcriptions is also easily hand-testable. Just create a video in studio, add an irrelevant transcript. Then try to import, export, and edit the problem. Expected behavior is success.
Partner Support commonly raises the issue of instructors' custom Python problems not generating any response report on the instructor dashboard. Such errors are due to the operating restrictions placed on codejail. Sometimes not all answers can be processed by the server, which kills off some to accommodate. Instead of spiking the whole report, this change logs not only the error in our system, but also allows the mostly complete response to reach the instructor.
This PR will decrease friction not only for Partner support and instructors, but T&L, who have periodically implemented workarounds to the problem.
The PR merely implements exception handling for generating reports which logged exceptions and added them to the report, continuing the work done in TNL-8218 which did the same for grading.
We ignore the missed_deadlines because this endpoint is used in the Learning MFE for
learners who have remaining attempts on a problem and reset their due dates in order to
submit additional attempts. This can apply for 'completed' (submitted) content that would
not be marked as past_due

When a certificate is in an unexpected state (i.e. notpassing with a
passing grade) this alert will allow the user to attempt to resolve the
issue on their own. It will run the code that checks the certificates
status. It requires that the course is configured to allow users to
Request Certificates though.
For authenticated users that are not global staff, changing discussion
providers after a course has started fails with 403 Forbidden.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Course staff, who were previously allowed to do this operation,
will instead receive a 403 Forbidden response.
fix: make new field in xblock json serializable and don't assign due dates to ORAs
feat: display warning message in Studio if the relative date input is more than 18 weeks for custom pacing in self paced course
fix: handle due dates for mix of ORA and non ORA problems under a subsection and other styling fixes
feat: add a minimum restriction for self paced courses due date editor input
fix: naming of warning id divs to be more specific and exclude children of ORA problems in setting due dates
test: extracting dates for a self paced course with custom pacing
test: frontend for self paced custom pacing modal in studio and clean up its backend tests
fix: remove an unused line when getting children of custom pacing subsection, reorganize testing for custom pacing
fix: more specific comments to testing for custom PLS and remove a test case course
fix: more cleanup for self paced custom pacing PLS backend tests
The course settings `certificate_available_date` (CAD) and
`certificates_display_behavior` (CDB) were previously acting indedependantly
of one another. They now work in tandem. This change:
- limits CDB to a dropdown
- removes "early_with_info" and adds "end_with_date"
- only takes CAD into account if "end_with_date" is selected
- Moves CDB to the main course schedule settings page
- updates CourseOverview to validate these fields and choose sane
defaults if they aren't expected values
Certificates will now show under the following circumstances:
"Immediately upon passing"
certificate_availability_date = null
certificates_display_behavior = "early_no_info"
"End date of course"
certificate_availability_date = null
certificates_display_behavior = "end"
"A date after the course end date"
certificate_availability_date = <date>
certificates_display_behavior = "end_with_date"
Loading messages for MathJax are distracting and not actionable. They
also delay the time to final render for many pages that do not actually
have math on them. This removes them.
Previously, it would 404. While accurate, it's not a great user
experience. Users can be offered invalid jump_to paths in the normal
course of things, if course content disappears or they lose access
to it.
In both cases, they might be offered a resume URL in the courseware
that would be to a now-invalid location.
With this change, that invalid link will at least give them
*something* (the first unit in the course) rather than an error
page.
This also (unrelatedly) fixes an exception when the learning MFE
outline page tries to render a course that contains sequences
with no children.

Before this change a user would not be auto refunded if they had a
certificate in a course with any status. This had unintended
consequences. This change updates the logic to only block auto refund
for statuses that we do not want to refund on such as downloadable.
