The Studio Maintenance app had two features:
* "Force Course Publish", which literally doesn't do anything. All it
does is tell you what version *would* be seen by users *if* the course
were to be published--no publishing actually occurs via this feature.
* "Announcements", which writes to the announcements_announcement
database table, but doesn't actually display anywhere.
Having these pages in the platform is actively misleading and creates a
maintenance burden for edx-platform developers, so we remove them.
Note that this commit does not include a migration for the announcements
Django app. So, announcements_announcement table will not be deleted.
Given the small expected size of any past-authored announcements, we are
not worried about leaving them in the database perpetually.

This completes the work started in https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/19453
to use the LMS login and registration for Studio, rather than Studio
providing its own implementation.
LMS login/registration are being used for the following reasons:
1. LMS logistration properly handles all SSO integrations.
2. A single logistration is simpler to maintain and understand.
3. Allows Studio to work more like all other IDAs that use LMS
logistration.
The original switch to use LMS logistration for Studio also added the
toggle `DISABLE_STUDIO_SSO_OVER_LMS` to provide the community some
additional time for switching. This commit removes this toggle, which
at this point means all deployments will use the LMS logistration.
This change requires sharing cookies across LMS and Studio. Should that
prove to be a problem for certain Open edX instances, there are
discussions of possible alternative solutions.
See https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/19845#issuecomment-559154256
Detailed changes:
* Fix some Studio links that still went to old Studio signin and signup.
* Remove DISABLE_STUDIO_SSO_OVER_LMS feature toggle.
* Remove old studio signin and signup pages and templates.
* Fix url name "login", which had different meanings for Studio and LMS.
* Use the following settings: LOGIN_URL, FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL,
FRONTEND_LOGOUT_URL, and FRONTEND_REGISTER_URL.
* Redirect /signin and /signup to the LMS logistration.
* Add custom metric `uses_pattern_library`.
* Add custom metric `student_activate_account`.
* Add Django Settings to allow /signin, /signup, and /login_post to be
disabled once ready.
This work also relates to ARCH-218 and DEPR-6.
ARCH-1253
- Add announcements view using JSX to the dashboard sidebar
- Create a new maintenance interface to edit and manage announcements
- Adds an override to main.html template to include new skip links
- Add plugins required for announcements to TinyMCE
This is motivated by a desire to have system wide messages for students
that show on the dashboard. Enabled with FEATURES['ENABLE_ANNOUNCEMENTS'].
Global staff are allowed to edit from the studio maintenance view.
It should help catch unicode encoding problems earlier.
This also updates python-saml dependency to a version that includes a
patch for unicode strings.
