Deborah Kaplan 7124559906 feat: updating readmes for program/cert/creds apps (#35104)
The LMS `certificates` app `README`  has been, and the
openedx core `credentials` and `programs` READMEs  have been created.
This will clarify not only what the limited responsibilities
of each of these django apps is, but also the way they interact with
each other.

Responsibilities
================
The Credentials app is responsible (along with the `programs app`_)
for communicating with the `credentials service`_, which is
the system of record for a learner's Program Certificates, and which (when enabled by the edX
instance) is the system of record for accessing all of a learner's credentials.

.. _credentials service: https://github.com/openedx/credentials

.. _programs app: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/openedx/core/djangoapps/programs
