Beta testers can’t earn course certificates, so they should not see a “Request Certificate” button or other info describing how they can earn a cert.

* Update Python API function named `cert_generated_enabled` to `has_self_generated_certificates_enabled` to more accurately reflect the purpose of the function
Instead of hard-coding the "Learn More" and potentially other links for course
apps in the course authoring MFEs this change loads those URLs from the
django settings as part of each individual course app.
Remove the option to masquerade as a generic learner
if there are enrollment tracks or partition groups
because the behavior is unpredictable and unhelpful.

feat: reimagine certificate display settings
The course settings `certificate_available_date` (CAD) and
`certificates_display_behavior` (CDB) were previously
acting indedependantly of one another. They now work in
tandem. This change:
- limits CDB to a dropdown
- removes "early_with_info" and adds "end_with_date"
- only takes CAD into account if "end_with_date" is selected
- Moves CDB to the main course schedule settings page
- updates CourseOverview model and CourseDetails objects to
validate these fields and choose sane defaults if they aren't
expected values
This work was previously done in bd9e7dd (complete with bugs), so this
version is toggleable via the ENABLE_V2_CERT_DISPLAY_SETTINGS setting
Instead of having json errors in transcript acquisition and conversion cause errors, have transcription conversion and acquisition simply return an error message in the transcription which can prompt a change from the user.
Although not uploading a transcript is handled, transcripts can often cause errors in edit, export, and other activities due to json errors. These errors block the entire use of these features, so to allow for reupload, etc, we add an error message instead of transcript and log the event.

Testing: Unit tests coverage is included in the PR. Upload, import, and export of courses with transcriptions is also easily hand-testable. Just create a video in studio, add an irrelevant transcript. Then try to import, export, and edit the problem. Expected behavior is success.

Certificates will now show under the following circumstances:
"Immediately upon passing"
certificate_availability_date = null
certificates_display_behavior = "early_no_info"
"End date of course"
certificate_availability_date = null
certificates_display_behavior = "end"
"A date after the course end date"
certificate_availability_date = <date>
certificates_display_behavior = "end_with_date"
The learning_sequences.use_for_outlines flag was recently added,
intended to serve the same purpose
as courseware.use_learning_seuqences_api. We do not need
both flags.
Furthermore, exposing either flag in the Courseware
Metadata API is neither necessary nor helpful, since
the easiest and quickest way for the Learning MFE to see
if the Learning Sequences API is enabled is to hit it,
and fall back to a different API if a 403 is returned.
This reverts commit 78f1e2b3bd.

* Remove a Segment certificate event that was, historically, only emit from the courseware.
The Segment event that was previously (only) issued in the courseware doesn't seem to be important or referenced anywhere we could see. Since this event only tracked certificate generation attempts from one (of multiple) paths to initiate certificate generation in v1, I didn't think the historical event data captured is complete. We approached our data teams and I determined this event was not of high importance. For this reason, I am suggesting we just stop using this event and remove the code responsible for sending it.
We will continue to track certificate creation/generation using the existing `edx.certificate.created` event.
Previously, it would 404. While accurate, it's not a great user
experience. Users can be offered invalid jump_to paths in the normal
course of things, if course content disappears or they lose access
to it.
In both cases, they might be offered a resume URL in the courseware
that would be to a now-invalid location.
With this change, that invalid link will at least give them
*something* (the first unit in the course) rather than an error
page.
This also (unrelatedly) fixes an exception when the learning MFE
outline page tries to render a course that contains sequences
with no children.

Add a Waffle Flag. When enabled, the courseware pages of the
Learning MFE should use the Learning Sequences HTTP API instead
of the Course Blocks HTTP API in order to load course structure
data. We expect that this switchover will lead to performance
improvements and a more comprehensible system.
(We are putting the switchover behind a temporary flag in order to
enable debugging, incremental rollout, and comparison testing.)
The flag is exposed to the MFE via the Course API.
As of this commit, the new flag is not enabled in any environment,
and the MFE does not have any code to act on the flag's value.
So, this commit on its own should have no production impact.

* feat: Course Apps API
This adds a new concept called course apps. These are exposed via a new
"openedx.course_app" entrypoint, which helps the LMS and studio discover such
apps and list them in a new rest api for the same.
These course apps will drive the pages and resources view in the course authoring
MFE. This system will track which apps are enabled and which are disabled. It
also allows third-party apps to be listed here by using the plugin entrypoint.
* Apply feedback from review
This PR changes the preview URL redirect from Studio. Before when a user clicked on the course preview button to check unpublished changes, the preview in the New Experience would show the most recently published version of the course. The unpublished changes that the user was hoping to view are no present. At the moment users have been publishing the content to check it then having to republish the old version if they did not like the changes. As a short-term fix, this PR redirects to the Legacy experience where the preview option previously worked. Now the user can see the unpublished changes. A long-term fix is still being explored. This change will impact the Course Author.
This moves all course runs that use certificates over to V2 of course certificates, and disables the option for a course run to use V1 of course certificates.

- Remove the REDIRECT_TO_COURSEWARE_MICROFRONTEND waffle flag.
- Add a new COURSEWARE_USE_LEGACY_FRONTEND waffle flag that directs
all learners to the legacy courseware experience.
- Skip two failing a11y tests which fail due to the new default of
the courseware MFE.

Added cert availability date to the API used to get certificate status
by the learning MFE to support updated messaging.
Updated the cert availability messaging in the Coruse Dashboard,
including a text color change.
For self-paced courses, we have decided to switch to showing the end
date as long as it is within 365 days rather than the expected
duration of the course.
