Comprehensive themes used to allow you to override JS within one of the
bundles created for Studio and LMS (specified in the common.py env
files). So for instance, the bundle that becomes lms-base-application.js
is defined like this:
base_application_js = [
'js/src/utility.js',
'js/src/logger.js',
'js/user_dropdown_v1.js',
'js/dialog_tab_controls.js',
'js/src/string_utils.js',
'js/form.ext.js',
'js/src/ie_shim.js',
'js/src/accessibility_tools.js',
'js/toggle_login_modal.js',
'js/src/lang_edx.js',
]
You could not add a custom file to this list in your theme, but if you
created a themes/mytheme/lms/static/js/dialog_tab_controls.js, then your
theme's version of that file would be wrapped into the bundle, which
would be created at {staticfiles}/mytheme/js/lms-base-application.js
It doesn't appear that this functionality has seen much use in practice,
and it adds minutes to the compile time for sites compiling multiple
themes, so this commit removes this capability. It is still possible to
create and invoke custom JavaScript that is theme specific, and will
compile out to {staticfiles}/mytheme/js -- it's just not possible to
override a file that becomes part of the standard Studio/LMS bundles.

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.
