Kyle McCormick 834cb9482d refactor: rename ModuleStore runtimes now that XModules are gone (#35523)
* Consolidates and renames the runtime used as a base for all the others:
  * Before: `xmodule.x_module:DescriptorSystem` and
            `xmodule.mako_block:MakoDescriptorSystem`.
  * After:  `xmodule.x_module:ModuleStoreRuntime`.

* Co-locates and renames the runtimes for importing course OLX:
  * Before: `xmodule.x_module:XMLParsingSystem` and
            `xmodule.modulestore.xml:ImportSystem`.
  * After:  `xmodule.modulestore.xml:XMLParsingModuleStoreRuntime` and
            `xmodule.modulestore.xml:XMLImportingModuleStoreRuntime`.
  * Note: I would have liked to consolidate these, but it would have
          involved nontrivial test refactoring.

* Renames the stub Old Mongo runtime:
  * Before: `xmodule.modulestore.mongo.base:CachingDescriptorSystem`.
  * After: `xmodule.modulestore.mongo.base:OldModuleStoreRuntime`.

* Renames the Split Mongo runtime, the which is what runs courses in LMS and CMS:
  * Before: `xmodule.modulestore.split_mongo.caching_descriptor_system:CachingDescriptorSystem`.
  * After: `xmodule.modulestore.split_mongo.runtime:SplitModuleStoreRuntime`.

* Renames some of the dummy runtimes used only in unit tests.

CMS
===

This directory contains code relating to the Open edX Content Management System ("CMS"). It allows learning content to be created, edited, versioned, and eventually published to the `Open edX Learning Mangement System <../lms>`_ ("LMS"). The main user-facing application that CMS powers is the `Open edX Studio <https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/educators/concepts/open_edx_platform/what_is_studio.html>`_
