This allows XModules (specifically CombinedOpenEnded) to use ajax_url
during their init functions (which would, before, have thrown an
exception).
[LMS-1493]
Under normal operation, XModules are reloaded on each request from a
student. CombinedOpenEnded modules have code that runs at initialization
that validates the students state. These changes makes that code run
during several long-form unit tests (testing CombinedOpenEnded across
multiple 'requests').
These tests are marked as expectedFailure because they now exhibit the
same failures as observed in [LMS-1493] (namely, the students state gets
reset, because CombinedOpenEnded interprets system.ajax_url raising an
error as meaning that the problem definition and the student answers are
in conflict)
XBlock Fragments expect unicode strings, and fail on an assertion when
it isn't:

```
BY writing to stderr, BaseHTTPRequestHandler writes log messages to the
console during testing. This makes the output harder to interpret.
Write the log messages to stdout instead, so that test runners will
suppress them during passing tests, and show them during failing tests.
It would be nice to have a place to write this method just once for the
Youtube and LTI mock servers, but we don't seem to have a place for code
as common as that.
The ErrorDescriptor wasn't getting the appropriate xmodule_runtime set,
and thus immediately raising an AssertionError when we tried to retrieve
and _xmodule from it.
