Deborah Kaplan 58de0964ca feat: removing visible_date-to-creds updates per-cert (#35113)
* feat: removing visible_date-to-creds updates per-cert

The credentials IDA now relies on  the course certificate configuration
and (if present) `certificate_available_date` for displayability. We no
longer need to send `visible_date` updates for every awarded certificate
when a course  overview changes.
