The /jump_to/ LMS endpoint is used in a number of places
to direct users to courseware. It currently only redirects to
Legacy courseware URLs, which then conditionally may
redirect to the Learning MFE.
Two issues with this:
1. Performance Impact: In most cases, going to Legacy first
is just an extra redirect.
2. Confusion for Privileged Users: Neither course nor global
staff are auto-redirected from the Legacy experience to the
MFE. Thus, these priviliged users confusingly never see the
MFE by default; they must always manually click into it.
This commit makes it so that /jump_to/ directs
users to whatever the default courseware experience is
for them. For staff of courses active in the new experience,
this will impact (at a minimum) the "View Live"
links in Studio, all links on the old and new LMS
course outline, and the "Resume" links on the course
dashboard. Learners should see no difference other than
a performance improvement when following courseware links
from the LMS.
This also adds an optional 'experience=[legacy|new]'
query param to /jump_to/, allowing us to specifically
generate Legacy courseware URLs for the
"View in Legacy Experience" tool.

A variety of updates were made to improve the toggle documentation:
* Added comments to help ensure that the waffle(), waffle_switches(),
waffle_flags() anti-pattern won't be contagious (copied).
* Some minor toggle_description updates.
* Removed empty toggle_target_removal_date annotations for
non-temporary toggles.
* Removed empty optional toggle_warnings annotations.
* Removed empty optional toggle_tickets annotations.
* Removed deprecated toggle_category, toggle_status,
and toggle_expiration_date annotations.
* Fixed some indents, use cases, and implementations.

When considering whether a subsection is complete as an assignment,
skip any "hierarchy" types (sequential, vertical, etc) that don't
have children. If the user can't see the content, don't risk
marking it as complete.

For now only the discussion blocks were supported. If we had a custom XBlock that specified `completion_mode = XBlockCompletionMode.EXCLUDED`, then it could never be marked as completed on the course outline page, despite being marked as such inside the learning sequence.
This adds support for displaying completion on the course outline page, to remove the discrepancies between this view and the learning sequence. It also simplifies course outline page by reusing existing APIs for determining completion state and finding the "Resume block"'s target.
Centralize the logic for choosing between
MFE and Legacy-frontend courseware within
three new functions:
* courseware_mfe_is_active
* courseware_mfe_is_visible
* courseware_legacy_is_visible
This allows us to create another new function:
* get_courseware_url
which can be called anywhere in LMS/Studio
to get the canonical URL to courseware
content (whether it be MFE or Legacy).
In future commits we we begin using
get_courseware_url throughout the platform.

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.
In preparation for switching LMS/Studio over
from serving legacy courseware URLs in certain
places (for example, resume_course_url) to serving
learning micro-frontend URLs.

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.
