This commit updates common/lib/xmodule.
These keys are now objects with a limited interface, and the particular
internal representation is managed by the data storage layer (the
modulestore).
For the LMS, there should be no outward-facing changes to the system.
The keys are, for now, a change to internal representation only. For
Studio, the new serialized form of the keys is used in urls, to allow
for further migration in the future.

[LMS-2370]
Adds a feature to the edX platform which allows instructors to set
individual due dates for students on particular coursework. This code is
meant primarily for on-campus use--it is not intended that this feature
would be used for MOOCs. It adds a new tab, "Extensions", to the beta
instructor dashboard which allows changing due dates per student. This
feature is enabled by setting FEATURES['INDIVIDUAL_DUE_DATES'] = True.
This allows XModules (specifically CombinedOpenEnded) to use ajax_url
during their init functions (which would, before, have thrown an
exception).
[LMS-1493]
Instead, we use XModule field default values when creating an empty
XModule. Driven by this use case, we also allow for XModules to be
created in memory without being persisted to the database at all. This
necessitates a change to the Modulestore api, replacing clone_item with
create_draft and save_xmodule.
stores_state is now only used in a single test, in conjunction with
has_score. In practice, it's never the case that stores_state is false
when has_score is true, so we can delete stores_state entirely, and just
use has_score for the grading test.
- ops view for the desktop app to talk to
- xmodule that talks to the foldit model and displays the student's state
- grading tweak to make grade updates from an external service work:
- Add an always_recalculate_grades property to XModuleDescriptor.
