stvn 43698fff0a refactor: Move get_course_by_id helper from LMS to core
This helper is used by the LMS, CMS, _and_ `openedx.core`,
so let's move it to `openedx.core` to reduce import complexity.

The following files no longer import from LMS:
- cms/djangoapps/contentstore/management/commands/edit_course_tabs.py
- lms/djangoapps/ccx/migrations/0006_set_display_name_as_override.py
- openedx/core/djangoapps/ccxcon/api.py
- openedx/core/djangoapps/verified_track_content/models.py
- openedx/features/course_experience/plugins.py

Note: The LTI XBlock has a dependency on this import path (!?);
a fix can be found here [1].

Status: Maintenance

Responsibilities
================
The Certificates app is responsible for creating and managing Course-Run certificates, including any relevant data models for invalidating and white-listing users' certificate eligibilities.

Direction: Move and Extract
===========================
Certificates related functionality is scattered across a number of places and should be better consolidated. Today we have:

* ``lms/djangoapps/certificates``
* ``openedx/core/djangoapps/certificates``
* ``cms/djangoapps/contentstore/views/certificates.py``
* Various front-end static templates in multiple locations

Ideally, we want to extract these into the `credentials service`_, which would be ultimately responsible for Course-Run and Program certificates (and possibly other credentials). Right now, the `credentials service`_ only manages Program certificates.
