This command dumps the current Django settings to JSON for
debugging/diagnostics. The output of this command is for *humans*... it
is NOT suitable for consumption by production systems.
In particular, we are introducing this command as part of a series of
refactorings to the Django settings files lms/envs/* and cms/envs/*.
We want to ensure that these refactorings do not introduce any
unexpected breaking changes, so the dump_settings command will both help
us manually verify our refactorings and help operators verify that our
refactorings behave expectedly when using their custom python/yaml
settings files.
