This basically commits the transpiled CoffeeScript JS (with minor
cleanup) and removes coffee build support.
A tiny amount of support for xblocks exists, because external users
may have xblocks with coffee. But no coffee in our tree anyway.
Adds a new Email link to the instructor dashboard for frontend interface to send
email to course members. Adds a feature flag ENABLE_INSTRUCTOR_EMAIL to toggle this.
Creates a new djangoapp bulk_email that handles this action by getting the recipient
list and batching the emails to different celery tasks to do the actual sending.
Requires lynx package to convert HTML email to plaintext. Handles SMTP errors by
retrying or falling through to the next email. Adds the option to opt out of course
specific emails in the user dashboard with an Email Settings link for each course.
Uses severable configurable settings with defaults. DEFAULT_BULK_FROM_EMAIL
specifies the from address for email. EMAILS_PER_TASK specifies the number of emails
each celery task takes on. EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT, EMAIL_HOST_USER,
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD, and EMAIL_USE_TLS for the SMTP email backend settings.
