* feat: Reapply "Integrate Forum V2 into edx-platform"
This reverts commit 818aa343a2.
* feat: make it possible to globally disable forum v2 with setting
We introduce a setting that allows us to bypass any course waffle flag
check. The advantage of such a setting is that we don't need to find the
course ID: in some cases, we might not have access to the course ID, and
we need to look for it... in forum v2.
See discussion here: https://github.com/openedx/forum/issues/137
* chore: bump openedx-forum to 0.1.5
This should fix an issue with index creation on edX.org.
This commit introduces the new Forum V2 application, allowing users to choose between the legacy Forum V1 and the new Forum V2 at the course level.
Key Changes:
- Added waffle flag `discussions.enable_forum_v2` to enable Forum V2 for selected courses, allowing coexistence with Forum V1.
- Default data storage for Forum V2 is set to MongoDB, with an option to switch to MySQL using the waffle flag `forum_v2.enable_mysql_backend`.
- Introduced management command `forum_migrate_course_from_mongodb_to_mysql` for per-course data migration from MongoDB to MySQL.
Note: This PR does not include all unit tests for the Forum V2 native API due to ongoing migration efforts. Further updates will follow to ensure full test coverage before final release.

The current logic for showing discussion providers makes it hard to switch
from the legacy to the new provider. This commit changes the conditions in
which different providers are shown, and which provider is used as default.
Before this commit, the new provider would be hidden if the legacy provider
was in use and vice-versa. So both would only be shown if neither legacy
nor the new provider were in use (i.e. an LTI provider was in use).
Now, all providers are always displayed to global staff. If the waffle
flag for the new provider is set
(`discussions.enable_new_structure_discussions`), then new provider is
always displayed, and the legacy provider is hidden unless it's currently
in use.
If flag is not set, then the new provider is always hidden unless it is
used by a course.
Finally, the default provider now depends on the flag above. If it is
set globally, then the default provider is the new provider, otherwise
the legacy provider remains the default provider.
BREAKING: get rid of the LegacyWaffle-based CourseWaffleFlag.
Both CourseWaffleFlag and FutureCourseWaffleFlag now use the modern
WaffleFlag as parent class. FutureCourseWaffleFlag left to support ORA
transition to modern waffle.
Switch to the ORA version which supporting new Waffles.
This is a first stage for removing the LegacyWaffle* classes.
LegacyWaffleFlag usage replaced with WaffleFlag;
LegacyWaffleSwitche usage replaced with WaffleSwitch;
New CourseWaffleFlag added to the temporary module __future__ as FutureCourseWaffleFlag;
Updated all the imports to use CourseWaffleFlag from the __future__ module;
BREAKING CHANGE: A number of toggle related constants (e.g. ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_POLICY_PAGE)
changed types. They were strings, and are now toggle instances (e.g. WaffleSwitch). Although the entire
refactor should be self-contained in edx-platform, if any plugins or dependencies were directly
using these constants, they will break. If this is the case, try to find a better publicized way of
exposing those toggles.
