Kyle McCormick 4dda73d797 [BD-14] Migrate all environments to use database-backed organizations (#25153)
* Install `organizations` app into LMS and Studio non-optionally.
* Add toggle `ORGANIZATIONS_AUTOCREATE` to Studio.
* Remove the `FEATURES["ORGANIZATIONS_APP"]` toggle.
* Use the new `organizations.api.ensure_organization` function to
  either validate or get-or-create organizations, depending
  on the value of `ORGANIZATIONS_AUTOCREATE`,
  when creating course runs and V2 content libraries.
  We'll soon use it for V1 content libraries as well.
* Remove the `util.organizations_helpers` wrapper layer
  that had to exist because `organizations` was an optional app.
* Add `.get_library_keys()` method to the Split modulestore.
* Add Studio management command for backfilling organizations tables
  (`backfill_orgs_and_org_courses`).

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.
