After changes from #31472, the user service of a "leaf" XBlock gets overridden
with the one created for its parent (SequenceBlock). Therefore, the
`requires_per_student_anonymous_id` is ignored in these XBlocks. The
subsequent renders of an XBlock (e.g., when requesting the solution) use
the student-specific IDs.
This removes choosing the proper ID (course-specific or student-specific) from
the runtime initialization. Instead, both IDs are passed to the user service.
There are only two XBlocks that relied on the
`requires_per_student_anonymous_id` - `ProblemBlock` and `HtmlBlock`. They
now request the "deprecated" (student-specific) user ID directly from the user
service.
Remove temporary FutureCourseWaffleFlag class;
Update ora2 and edx-toggles to versions cleaned from the
LegacyWaffle* classes;
Replace `override_flag`s with `override_waffle_flag`;
Replace `override_switch`s with `override_waffle_switch` (where it's possible).
This is a first stage for removing the LegacyWaffle* classes.
LegacyWaffleFlag usage replaced with WaffleFlag;
LegacyWaffleSwitche usage replaced with WaffleSwitch;
New CourseWaffleFlag added to the temporary module __future__ as FutureCourseWaffleFlag;
Updated all the imports to use CourseWaffleFlag from the __future__ module;
BREAKING CHANGE: A number of toggle related constants (e.g. ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_POLICY_PAGE)
changed types. They were strings, and are now toggle instances (e.g. WaffleSwitch). Although the entire
refactor should be self-contained in edx-platform, if any plugins or dependencies were directly
using these constants, they will break. If this is the case, try to find a better publicized way of
exposing those toggles.
This was the "outline tab" view of the course. Preceded by the
course info view, succeeded by the MFE outline tab.
In addition to the course home view itself, this drops related
features:
- Legacy version of Course Goals (MFE has a newer implementation)
- Course home in-course search (MFE has no search)
The old course info view and course about views survive for now.
This also drops a few now-unused feature toggles:
- course_experience.latest_update
- course_experience.show_upgrade_msg_on_course_home
- course_experience.upgrade_deadline_message
- course_home.course_home_use_legacy_frontend
With this change, just the progress and courseware tabs are still
supported in legacy form, if you opt-in with waffle flags. The
outline and dates tabs are offered only by the MFE.

Description
This is a follow up to #29058 and #29413. This is the next step in moving part of the modulestore data (the course indexes / "active versions" table) from MongoDB to MySQL.
There are four steps planned in moving course index data to MySQL:
Step 1: create the tables in MySQL, start writing to MySQL + MongoDB ✅ done
Step 2: migrate all remaining courses to MySQL ✅ done
Step 3: switch reads from MongoDB to MySQL (this PR)
Step 4 (much later, once we know this is working well): stop writing to MongoDB altogether.
Supporting information
OpenCraft Jira ticket: MNG-2557
Status
✅ Tested with a large Open edX instance is in progress.
Testing instructions
Try making changes in Studio and verify that they work fine.

None
It's long past time that the default test modulestore was Split,
instead of Old Mongo. This commit switches the default store and
fixes some tests that now fail:
- Tests that didn't expect MFE to be enabled (because we don't
enable MFE for Old Mongo) - opt out of MFE for those
- Tests that hardcoded old key string formats
- Lots of other random little differences
In many places, I didn't spend much time trying to figure out how to
properly fix the test, and instead just set the modulestore to Old
Mongo.
For those tests that I didn't spend time investigating, I've set
the modulestore to TEST_DATA_MONGO_AMNESTY_MODULESTORE - search for
that string to find further work.
If a learner changes modes (like upgrades to a verified learner),
we will reset their schedule for them. But if they did this before
the course started, we would accidentally set their schedule to
the current time. So when the course did start, they would already
appear to be behind schedule.
That's silly. So now we always look at course start time when
resetting the learner's schedule.

This PR changes the preview URL redirect from Studio. Before when a user clicked on the course preview button to check unpublished changes, the preview in the New Experience would show the most recently published version of the course. The unpublished changes that the user was hoping to view are no present. At the moment users have been publishing the content to check it then having to republish the old version if they did not like the changes. As a short-term fix, this PR redirects to the Legacy experience where the preview option previously worked. Now the user can see the unpublished changes. A long-term fix is still being explored. This change will impact the Course Author.
We squashed migrations in the student djangoapp a while back.
This is the followup work to remove the migrations that were
squashed and to convert the squashed migration into a 'normal'
migration.

We have been bucketing all users into the relative dates experiment
since May 18, 2020. We no longer need to keep this as an
ExperimentWaffleFlag and can convert to a CourseWaffleFlag (so it
continues to support exemptions).
django-not-configured is an error raised by pylint (with
the pylint-django plugin) when it's not correctly configured.
We should not be applying lint amnesty for such a violation.
When this flag is enabled, users will be 50/50 bucketed into an
experiment where users get course highlights and nudges from an
external service (like sailthru or braze) rather than from
edx-platform via ACE.

This commit removes several waffle toggles that have been enabled
on edx.org for years. It's time to remove the rollout gating for
these features and enable them by default.
This doesn't directly change any behavior. But it does create new
database objects by default now and allows for enabling other
schedule based features more easily.
Specifically, the following toggles were affected.
schedules.create_schedules_for_course
- Waffle flag removed as always-enabled
- We now always create a schedule when an enrollment is created
schedules.send_updates_for_course
- Waffle flag removed as always-enabled
- Course update emails are sent as long as the ScheduleConfig
allows it.
- This is not a change in default behavior, because ScheduleConfig
is off by default.
dynamic_pacing.studio_course_update
- Waffle switch removed as always-enabled
- Course teams can now always edit course updates directly in Studio
ScheduleConfig.create_schedules
ScheduleConfig.hold_back_ratio
- Model fields for rolling out the schedules feature
- Schedules are now always created
- This commit only removes references to these fields, they still
exist in the database. A future commit will remove them entirely
This commit also adds a new has_highlights field to CourseOverview.
This is used to cache whether a course has highlights, used to
decide which course update email behavior they get. Previously every
enrollment had to dig into the modulestore to determine that.
