Kyle McCormick 9b37e7d0fe refactor: centralize checks for canonical courseware experience & URL (#26815)
Centralize the logic for choosing between
MFE and Legacy-frontend courseware within
three new functions:
* courseware_mfe_is_active
* courseware_mfe_is_visible
* courseware_legacy_is_visible

This allows us to create another new function:
* get_courseware_url
which can be called anywhere in LMS/Studio
to get the canonical URL to courseware
content (whether it be MFE or Legacy).

In future commits we we begin using
get_courseware_url throughout the platform.

Return a str with the URL for the specified courseware content in the Learning MFE.
The micro-frontend determines the user's position in the vertical via
a separate API call, so all we need here is the course_key, sequence, and
vertical IDs to format it's URL. For simplicity and performance reasons,
this method does not inspect the modulestore to try to figure out what
Unit/Vertical a sequence is in. If you try to pass in a unit_key without
a sequence_key, the value will just be ignored and you'll get a URL pointing
to just the course_key.
Note that `sequence_key` may either point to a Section (ie chapter) or
Subsection (ie sequential), as those are both abstractly understood as
"sequences". If you pass in a Section-level `sequence_key`, then the MFE
will replace it with key of the first Subsection in that Section.
It is also capable of determining our section and vertical if they're not
present. Fully specifying it all is preferable, though, as the
micro-frontend can save itself some work, resulting in a better user
experience.
