This function is a celery task but it seems like it is not being
called correctly. The way it was, it would run in process. We
update the call so that it is called asynchronously as a celery
task instead.
This may have some user facing impact as the work might now take
longer to do than when it was running in the request process.
However leaving it as is, definitely makes the user experience slower
causes us to do computationally intensive work in the web request. It
also makes it much harder to monitor as our ownership assignment tracking
for the feature does not work correctly.
Banner image URL is exposed on the course list and course details API
endpoints. The new `banner_image_url` API field has both the relative
and absolute URLs for the image it represents, if it is set.
Previously, dismissing one course update would disable all future
updates. But that feels a bit limiting.
Instead, these are the new rules:
- If the newest update has not been dismissed yet, it gets displayed.
- If the newest update has been dismissed, we display nothing.
- Editing the newest update will cause it to be displayed again.
- New updates get displayed, even if previous updates were dismissed.
This commit includes a light refactoring and addition of some utility
methods to help manage the above.
It also notes that the learning MFE does not use the "latest_update"
waffle option, which controls the labeling of the update message.

Some tests were still relying on deprecated
WaffleSwitchNamespace.override method, which was working before because
we were importing WaffleSwitchNamespace from waffle_utils.__init__. This
no longer works after we import WaffleSwitchNamespace from edx-toggles.
Codejail logs all calls to `safe_exec` that include a `slug`.
Provide a `slug` in the Python-safe-exec debug view so that
usages of it are logged (for debugging purposes).
