[APER-1968]
We don't have a good way to understand if grade data in Credentials is out of sync with the LMS. Grades are sent to Credentials via a REST API call originating from an asynchronous Celery task on the LMS side. This PR updates our Celery task `send_grade_to_credentials` to include sending the `modified` DateTime value of a grade record to the Credentials IDA. Updates will be made on the Credentials side to accept and store this data as part of the UserGrade instance.
* Updates the `send_grade_to_credentials` task to include passing the grade's `modified` DateTime info as part of the request data to Credentials
* Updates the `CourseGradeBase` class to include an optional `last_updated` field. This will store the `modified` date of a PersistentCourseGrade instance when a grade is read through the CourseGradeFactory.
* Update existing log statement to use format strings where possible.
As part of dissolving our sub-projects in edx-platform, we are moving this package under the xmodule directory.
We have fixed all the occurences of import of this package and also fixed all documents related references.
This might break your platform if you have any reference of `import capa` or `from capa import` in your codebase or in any Xblock.

- 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
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.
Description
This is a follow up to #29058 and #29413. This is the next step in moving part of the modulestore data (the course indexes / "active versions" table) from MongoDB to MySQL.
There are four steps planned in moving course index data to MySQL:
Step 1: create the tables in MySQL, start writing to MySQL + MongoDB ✅ done
Step 2: migrate all remaining courses to MySQL ✅ done
Step 3: switch reads from MongoDB to MySQL (this PR)
Step 4 (much later, once we know this is working well): stop writing to MongoDB altogether.
Supporting information
OpenCraft Jira ticket: MNG-2557
Status
✅ Tested with a large Open edX instance is in progress.
Testing instructions
Try making changes in Studio and verify that they work fine.
Deadline
None
`videosequence` and `problemset` have been replaced with `sequential`.
`problemset` and `videosequence` are old-but-not-entirely-unused aliases to the `sequential` block type (in Studio-speak, "Subsection").
Since [these block types have been removed from the 6 courses that used them](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-151?focusedCommentId=588197), this ticket removes the support for the `problemset` and `videosequence` block-types.
For more information, see ticket: [DEPR-151](https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-151)
Convert more tests from MONGO_AMNESTY to SPLIT modulestores.
This is in preparation for just wholesale denying access to Old
Mongo, so I either converted tests to split or just deleted some
test variants that were Old Mongo specific. (e.g. ddt lines)
It's long past time that the default test modulestore was Split,
instead of Old Mongo. This commit switches the default store and
fixes some tests that now fail:
- Tests that didn't expect MFE to be enabled (because we don't
enable MFE for Old Mongo) - opt out of MFE for those
- Tests that hardcoded old key string formats
- Lots of other random little differences
In many places, I didn't spend much time trying to figure out how to
properly fix the test, and instead just set the modulestore to Old
Mongo.
For those tests that I didn't spend time investigating, I've set
the modulestore to TEST_DATA_MONGO_AMNESTY_MODULESTORE - search for
that string to find further work.
Split modulestore persists data in three MongoDB "collections": course_index (list of courses and the current version of each), structure (outline of the courses, and some XBlock fields), and definition (other XBlock fields). While "structure" and "definition" data can get very large, which is one of the reasons MongoDB was chosen for modulestore, the course index data is very small.
By moving course index data to MySQL / a django model, we get these advantages:
* Full history of changes to the course index data is now preserved
* Includes a django admin view to inspect the list of courses and libraries
* It's much easier to "reset" a corrupted course to a known working state, by using the simple-history revert tools from the django admin.
* The remaining MongoDB collections (structure and definition) are essentially just used as key-value stores of large JSON data structures. This paves the way for future changes that allow migrating courses one at a time from MongoDB to S3, and thus eliminating any use of MongoDB by split modulestore, simplifying the stack.
We had been pre-escaping display names like 'Math & Science' as
'Math & Science" in the REST API itself - which meant that
consumers like MFEs that do their own escaping displayed the wrong
thing.
It's better for the API to just leave the string as-is. As far as
I know, this only affects the gradebook and progress pages, both
of which do their own escaping of the result from the API already.

We have been bucketing all users into the relative dates experiment
since May 18, 2020. We no longer need to keep this as an
ExperimentWaffleFlag and can convert to a CourseWaffleFlag (so it
continues to support exemptions).
[MICROBA-1109]
* Remove the requirement for the `auto_certificate_generation` waffle switch to be enabled in order for a learner to be eligible for a certificate. This switch should control _when_ a certificate is generated, not _if_ a certificate will be generated for a learner.
* Move the `auto_certificate_generation_enabled` check to happen before we try to generate v2 certificates in signals.py
* Update unit tests
* Update documentation
