This change creates a new lms/cms endpoint which accepts unauthenticated
requests to securely create zendesk tickets. This allows javascript code to
create tickets without exposing ZENDESK_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN

Before this commit, XBlock static assets were extracted during the
collectstatic process by iterating through all installed XBlock classes
and creating a separate directory for each. However, some packages
install many XBlocks that actually share the same static assets. The
most notable example is problem_builder, though we also see this with
schoolyourself and google_drive.
This commit uses the parent module name to do package asset lookup,
collapsing those cases down and eliminating duplicates. For a default
install of edx-platform XBlocks, this reduces assets generated from 31M
to 14M.
In particular, implement a validation API for registration,
where a client makes AJAX calls to the endpoints requesting
validation decisions on each input. Responses are strings
dependent on the type of validation error; if no error,
then empty string to indicate OK.
with a custom patch needed by edx-platform.
Upgrade django-filter as well to v1.0.4
Import DjangoFilterBackend from the correct module - django_filter.
Add django-filter to INSTALLED_APPS.
It accounts for a large chunk of our splunk logs and is often
repetitive. See forums connections which on a sandbox do:

Add this for any other IDA call.
In production environments, the DiscussionXBlock was generating CSS and
JS asset URLs that pointed to the unminified versions of those bundled
assets. Due to our nginx rules, this would cause the assets to be
served without the long expiration times, forcing the user's browser to
constantly refetch these assets while browsing a course.

Although we are phasing out our support of OIDC, this particular feature will allow us to eliminate many of the settings we
share across services. Instead of reading various endpoints and secret keys from settings or hardcoded values, services
with the proper authentication backend can simply read (and cache) the information from this endpoint.

Some result sets may be larger than the default cache's 1 MB max item size. This change is a bandaid meant to allow us to resume use of memcached while we work on a longer-term fix.

This change brings the Credentials API calls in line with those of other services. The change also makes it easier for the future switch to an asymmetric signing key.

This information mirrors the fields returned in our ID token for OpenID
Connect (OIDC). Including this information will allow us to eventually
migrate toward replacing OIDC with OAuth 2.0 + JWT.
