Justin Hynes df71aebdcf fix: [MICROBA-1594] fix cert generation logic for eligible modes that don't require IDV
[MICROBA-1594]

* Update course certificate generation logic when ID verification fails to check if the enrollment mode requires IDV.

This change fixes an issue where Honor certificates could not be generated in an Open edX installation unless a manual IDV override was added for the student.

Status: Maintenance

Responsibilities
================
The Certificates app is responsible for creating and managing course run certificates, including relevant data models for invalidating certificates and managing the allowlist.

Direction: Move and Extract
===========================
Certificates related functionality is scattered across a number of places and should be better consolidated. Today we have:

* ``lms/djangoapps/certificates``
* ``openedx/core/djangoapps/certificates``
* ``cms/djangoapps/contentstore/views/certificates.py``
* Various front-end static templates in multiple locations

Ideally, we want to extract these into the `credentials service`_, which would be ultimately responsible for Course-Run and Program certificates (and possibly other credentials). Right now, the `credentials service`_ only manages Program certificates.
