Braden MacDonald 1382bf8720 Save user state for Blockstore XBlocks in CSM, clean up CSM a bit (#21630)
This commit introduces the changes needed for XBlocks in Blockstore to save
their user state into CSM. Before this commit, all student state for Blockstore
blocks was ephemeral (in-process dict store).

Notes:

* The main risk factor of this PR is that it adds non-course keys to the
  course_id field in CSM. If any code (like analytics?) reads course keys
  directly out of CSM and doesn't have graceful handling for key types it
  doesn't recognize, it could cause an issue. With the included changes to
  opaque-keys, calling CourseKey.from_string(...) on these values will raise
  InvalidKeyError since they're not CourseKeys. (But calling
  LearningContextKey.from_string(...) will work for both course and library
  keys.)
* This commit introduces a slight regression for the Studio view of XBlocks in
  Blockstore content libraries: their state is now lost from request to request.
  I have a follow up PR to give them a proper studio-appropriate state store,
  but I want to review it separately so it doesn't hold up this PR and we can
  test this PR on its own.

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.
