Kyle McCormick de8859584f Merge pull request #27874 from edx/kdmccormick/xmodule-no-cms
refactor: make xmodule & openedx independent of code in cms

The xmodule and openedx packages both contain code that is common
between LMS and CMS. The cms package is, of course,
contains CMS-specific code.

So, one prerequisite to extracting CMS into an independent service
will be making sure that lms, common, openedx, and the projects in
common/lib (xmodule, capa, etc.) are not coupled to any CMS-specific
features. This PR moves us towards that reality by making sure
that those packages are independent from cms from a Python-import
perspective, at least.

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.
