Justin Hynes 2c96a2aca9 feat: stop removing verify_uuid value when revoking course certificates
[MB-1077]
- Stop removing the verify_uuid when revoking course certificates. In v2 of course certificates this will allow us to retain the same URL to the certificate. If a learner's certificate is revoked (from being invalidated or no longer passing the course) the UUID will remain intact and the URL will not change.
- Look for an existing cert for the user in a course-run during generation. If one exists, use the UUID from the existing certificate when updating the record.
- Stop generating a `key` for v2 web-certificates. This is not needed for web-certs (this is used in PDF cert generation).

Status: Maintenance

Responsibilities
================
The Certificates app is responsible for creating and managing Course-Run certificates, including any relevant data models for invalidating and white-listing users' certificate eligibilities.

Direction: Move and Extract
===========================
Certificates related functionality is scattered across a number of places and should be better consolidated. Today we have:

* ``lms/djangoapps/certificates``
* ``openedx/core/djangoapps/certificates``
* ``cms/djangoapps/contentstore/views/certificates.py``
* Various front-end static templates in multiple locations

Ideally, we want to extract these into the `credentials service`_, which would be ultimately responsible for Course-Run and Program certificates (and possibly other credentials). Right now, the `credentials service`_ only manages Program certificates.
