Fix the issue that was preventing us from upgrading pytest. pytest does some manipulation of test packages that prevents `pkg_resources` from loading resources from them, but used to contain a workaround for the problem. That workaround was [removed](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/5392) in 4.6.0 as a performance enhancement when pytest switched from `pkg_resources` to `importlib-metadata` for its own entrypoint handling. This tripped up one of our test modules which defined classes that loaded templates from inside a test package. Moving these resources to the parent package fixes the problem.
More and more, `pkg_resources` is being abandoned in favor of `importlib-metadata` and `importlib_resources` as they have a simpler design with much better performance. However, `importlib_resources` doesn't support loading files from any directory which isn't itself a Python package (and doesn't allow direct use of paths including directories within the package). Jinja2 chose a [different approach](https://github.com/pallets/jinja/pull/1082) that we may want to emulate in our resource handling.
Also fixed usage of a removed `pytest.raises()` parameter and a bug in our configuration of the `common/lib` tests that became a problem after the upgrade.
This adds the following new waffle switch (and namespace):
open_edx_util.display_maintenance_warning
and a new setting:
settings.MAINTENANCE_BANNER_TEXT
The provided view decorator allows developers to select which views
receive the static banner, and the banner can be globally toggled via
the waffle switch. The text of the banner is determined by the setting,
which is currently not translated.
There has been some reports about attack on /oauth2/access_token/.
This cause LMS to be down. This is being resolved by rate limiting the
endpoint.

This commit adds in course messaging for three use cases. First,
when the user is not signed in, the user is shown a message that
provides a link to sign in or register. If the user is signed in
but not enrolled, they are given a link to do so. If the user is
enrolled but the course has not yet started, they are shown a
message explaining when the course starts and shown a link (not
yet enabled) to add a reminder to their calendar.
The implementation defines a base message class and extends it
for the course home messages as well as the previously implemented
page level messages.
