Navin Karkera 09e86e24b2 refactor!: use String field instead of Dict field to store top_level_downstream_parent_key (#37448)
* refactor!: use String field instead of Dict field to store top_level_downstream_parent_key

Since this is a new field no production instance should have this field
yet. Developers need to delete their old courses as this change will
raise error in all course pages.

* chore: add `top_level_parent` field in ComponentLink and ContainerLink admin

* refactor: use ":" as separator

* refactor: block key parsing and tests

Return a new reproducible BlockKey for a given source usage and destination parent block.
When recursively copying a block structure, we need to generate new block IDs for the
blocks. We don't want to use the exact same IDs as we might copy blocks multiple times.
However, we do want to be able to reproduce the same IDs when copying the same block
so that if we ever need to re-copy the block from its source (that is, to update it with
upstream changes) we don't affect any data tied to the ID, such as grades.
This is used by the copy_from_template function of the modulestore, and can be used by
pluggable django apps that need to copy blocks from one course to another in an
idempotent way. In the future, this should be created into a proper API function
in the spirit of OEP-49.
