Kyle McCormick 9274852f2d fix: Remove pointless Maintenance and Announcement apps (#35852)
The Studio Maintenance app had two features:

* "Force Course Publish", which literally doesn't do anything. All it
  does is tell you what version *would* be seen by users *if* the course
  were to be published--no publishing actually occurs via this feature.

* "Announcements", which writes to the announcements_announcement
  database table, but doesn't actually display anywhere.

Having these pages in the platform is actively misleading and creates a
maintenance burden for edx-platform developers, so we remove them.

Note that this commit does not include a migration for the announcements
Django app. So, announcements_announcement table will not be deleted.
Given the small expected size of any past-authored announcements, we are
not worried about leaving them in the database perpetually.

CMS
===

This directory contains code relating to the Open edX Content Management System ("CMS"). It allows learning content to be created, edited, versioned, and eventually published to the `Open edX Learning Mangement System <../lms>`_ ("LMS"). The main user-facing application that CMS powers is the `Open edX Studio <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/latest/getting_started/CA_get_started_Studio.html#>`_
