kshitij.sobti 9ee4afaaf1 fix: use a single 'provider_type' key for storing discussion provider type in course
Both 'provider' and 'provider_type' have been used for storing the discussion provider type in course 'discussions_settings' field, there are some places in the code checking for 'provider' and others checking for 'provider_type', in some cases this can cause a bug where it doesn't detect the correct provider which causes discussion settings not being copied correctly when a course is cloned.

This change prioritises the `provider_type` setting over `provider` and reads `provider` only as a fallback. The `provider` setting is now made read-only just for backwards-compatibility, to avoid confusion.

openedx
-------

This directory (openedx) should contain code that is used by both `LMS <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/lms>`_ and `CMS <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/cms>`_. If your code is specific to LMS or CMS, put it in those directories instead.

Like openedx, the directory `common <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/common>`_ also contains code used by both LMS and CMS. At some point we'll merge the two.

Lastly, the directory `xmodule <https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/tree/master/xmodule>`_ contains legacy core code, also used by both LMS and CMS. We're in the middle of a long process of phasing that code out. Don't add new code there.
