Eugene Dyudyunov 8bd43207ca refactor!: switch from LegacyWaffle* to modern waffles (#30330)
This is a first stage for removing the LegacyWaffle* classes.

LegacyWaffleFlag usage replaced with WaffleFlag;
LegacyWaffleSwitche usage replaced with WaffleSwitch;
New CourseWaffleFlag added to the temporary module __future__ as FutureCourseWaffleFlag;
Updated all the imports to use CourseWaffleFlag from the __future__ module;

BREAKING CHANGE: A number of toggle related constants (e.g. ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_POLICY_PAGE)
changed types. They were strings, and are now toggle instances (e.g. WaffleSwitch). Although the entire
refactor should be self-contained in edx-platform, if any plugins or dependencies were directly
using these constants, they will break. If this is the case, try to find a better publicized way of
exposing those toggles.

Status: Deprecated (DEPR-24)

Responsibilities
================
XModules render specific course run content types to users for both authoring and learning. For instance, there is an XModule for Videos, another for HTML snippets, and another for Sequences. This package provides both the implementations of these XModules as well as some supporting utilities.

Direction: Convert and Extract
==============================
XModule exists today as a complex set of compatibility shims on top of XBlock (all XModules currently inherit from XBlock). The goal is for all XModules to either be converted into pure XBlocks or be deleted altogether. Extracting them into separate repositories would be ideal, but even just converting them to pure XBlocks would significantly simplify the runtime.
