This is a new XBlock that presents a random subset of its children. As of this commit, the block
can only be added as an Advanced component. For Sumac, we plan to enable it as part of the
Libraries Relaunch Beta, under the name "Problem Bank (Beta)"
The block does not care if its children are from V1 library, V2 library, or the course itself.
It shares the randomization logic with LegacyLibraryContentBlock. It is also fully backwards-compatible with LegacyLibraryContentBlock. So, once V1 libraries are migrated to V2 libraries (after Teak), we eventually
could point the `library_content` entry point at ItemBankBlock.

The V2 libraries project had a few past iterations which were never
launched. This commit cleans up pieces from those which we don't need
for the real Libraries Relaunch MVP in Sumac:
* Remove ENABLE_LIBRARY_AUTHORING_MICROFRONTEND,
LIBRARY_AUTHORING_FRONTEND_URL, and
REDIRECT_TO_LIBRARY_AUTHORING_MICROFRONTEND, all of which are obsolete
now that library authoring has been merged into
https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring.
More details on the new Content Libraries configuration settings are
here: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/issues/1334
* Remove dangling support for syncing V2 (learning core-backed) library
content using the LibraryContentBlock. This code was all based on an
older understanding of V2 Content Libraries, where the libraries were
smaller and versioned as a whole rather then versioned by-item.
Reference to V2 libraries will be done on a per-block basis using
the upstream/downstream system, described here:
https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/master/docs/decisions/0020-upstream-downstream.rst
It's important that we remove this support now so that OLX course
authors don't stuble upon it and use it, which would be buggy and
complicate future migrations.
* Remove the "mode" parameter from LibraryContentBlock. The only
supported mode was and is "random". We will not be adding any further
modes. Going forward for V2, we will have an ItemBank block for
randomizing items (regardless of source), which can be synthesized
with upstream referenced as described above. Existing
LibraryContentBlocks will be migrated.
* Finally, some renamings:
* LibraryContentBlock -> LegacyLibraryContentBlock
* LibraryToolsService -> LegacyLibraryToolsService
* LibrarySummary -> LegacyLibrarySummary
Module names and the old OLX tag (library_content) are unchanged.
Closes: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/issues/1115
Blockstore and all of its (experimental) functionality has been replaced with
openedx-learning, aka "Learning Core". This commit uninstalls the now-unused
openedx-blockstore package and removes all dangling references to it.
Note: This also removes the `copy_library_from_v1_to_v2` management command,
which has been broken ever since we switched from Blockstore to Learning Core.
Part of this DEPR: https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/238
BREAKING CHANGE: Removes all code, tests, and settings related to
indexing of V2 (blockstore-backed) content libraries in elasticsearch.
This includes indexing of top-level library metadata as well as indexing
of library block metadata. Operators who enabled the experimental
Library Authoring MFE *and* the experimental ENABLE_CONTENT_LIBRARY_INDEX
feature may notice that sorting, filtering, and searching of V2
libraries and their blocks may now be slower and/or less powerful.
The ENABLE_CONTENT_LIBRARY_INDEX feature was already disabled by
default, so most/all operators (including edx.org) should not notice
any difference.
Removed settings include:
* FEATURES['ENABLE_CONTENT_LIBRARY_INDEX']
* ENABLE_ELASTICSEARCH_FOR_TESTS
* TEST_ELASTICSEARCH_USE_SSL
* TEST_ELASTICSEARCH_HOST
* TEST_ELASTICSEARCH_PORT
For rationale, see the updated "Status" section of:
./openedx/core/djangoapps/content_libraries/docs/decisions/0001-index-libraries-in-elasticsearch.rst
Refactors and reworks the LibraryContentBlock so that its
sync-from-library operations are asynchronous and work with
V2 content libraries. This also required us to make
library_content block duplication asynchronous, as that
involves syncing from the source library.
For the sake of clarity, this PR includes two major method renames:
* update_children(...) -> sync_from_library(...)
* refresh_library(...) -> sync_from_library(upgrade_to_latest=True, ...)
an an XBlock HTTP handler rename:
/refresh_children -> /upgrade_and_sync
There are still a couple issues with import or duplication
of library_content blocks referencing V2 libraries other than
latest. These will be resolved in an upcoming PR.

Originally, we planned to add support for V2 libraries and for static
(hand-selected) library block reference via new block type: library_sourced.
We have since decided that it would be better to add those capabilities
in-place to the existing library_content block. This will ease V1->V2
library migration and make adoption of the new features easier for current
library users. It will also avoid duplication of logic between two block types,
we we fear would be error-prone. For details, see this ADR:
https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/33231
So, we are removing the library_sourced block.
This block has existed in edx-platform for a few years now, but was not
enabled by default and never officially supported. It was only usable via the
experimental V2 content library feature. Operators who added library_sourced
blocks to their course will now see them render as `HiddenBlock` instances, i.e.:
> ERROR: "library_sourced" is an unknown component type...
This should not impact other component types in such courses and should not
impact import/export.

- V2 libraries are available for selection in the Random Block edit modal;
- selected V2 library blocks are copied to the modulestore and saved as children of the Random Block;
- V2 library version validation works the same as for the V1 libraries (with possibility to update block with the latest version);
- filtering by problem type can't be done for V2 the same as for V1 because the v2 library problems are not divided by types;
- the problem type field is hidden for v2 libraries in the edit mode;
- unit tests added/updated.
- Moving xmodule folder to root as we're dissolving sub-projects of common folder in edx-platform
- More info: https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/BOM-2579
- -e common/lib/xmodule has been removed from the requirements as xmodule has itself become the part of edx-platform and not being installed through requirements
- The test files common/lib/xmodule/test_files/ have been removed as they are not being used anymore
