David Ormsbee be03938377 refactor: update to use Learning Core's new public API
This also bumps our openedx-learning dependency to 0.10.0 (the first
version with the new openedx_learning.api package).

"""
Python API for interacting with edx-platform's new XBlock Runtime.
For content in modulestore (currently all course content), you'll need to use
the older runtime.
Note that these views are only for interacting with existing blocks. Other
Studio APIs cover use cases like adding/deleting/editing blocks.

Return a new XBlockRuntimeSystem.
TODO: Refactor to get rid of the XBlockRuntimeSystem entirely and just
create the LearningCoreXBlockRuntime and return it. We used to want to keep
around a long lived runtime system (a factory that returns runtimes) for
caching purposes, and have it dynamically construct a runtime on request.
Now we're just re-constructing both the system and the runtime in this call
and returning it every time, because:
1. We no longer have slow, Blockstore-style definitions to cache, so the
performance of this is perfectly acceptable.
2. Having a singleton increases complexity and the chance of bugs.
3. Creating the XBlockRuntimeSystem every time only takes about 10-30 µs.
Given that, the extra XBlockRuntimeSystem class just adds confusion. But
despite that, it's tested, working code, and so I'm putting off refactoring
for now.
