Kyle McCormick 9274852f2d fix: Remove pointless Maintenance and Announcement apps (#35852)
The Studio Maintenance app had two features:

* "Force Course Publish", which literally doesn't do anything. All it
  does is tell you what version *would* be seen by users *if* the course
  were to be published--no publishing actually occurs via this feature.

* "Announcements", which writes to the announcements_announcement
  database table, but doesn't actually display anywhere.

Having these pages in the platform is actively misleading and creates a
maintenance burden for edx-platform developers, so we remove them.

Note that this commit does not include a migration for the announcements
Django app. So, announcements_announcement table will not be deleted.
Given the small expected size of any past-authored announcements, we are
not worried about leaving them in the database perpetually.

Open edX
--------

This is the root package for Open edX. The intent is that all importable code
from Open edX will eventually live here, including the code in the lms, cms,
and common directories.

If you're adding a new Django app, place it in core/djangoapps. If you're adding
utilities that require Django, place them in core/djangolib.  If you're adding
code that defines no Django models or views of its own but is widely useful, put it
in core/lib.

Note: All new code should be created in this package, and the legacy code will
be moved here gradually. For now the code is not structured like this, and hence
legacy code will continue to live in a number of different packages.
