The _does_name_change_require_verification(user_profile, old_name, new_name) method of the accounts user_api determines whether a learner can change their name from old_name to new_name. Originally, it delegated solely to the NameChangeValidator class of the edx-name-affirmation API, which ran a set of checks against the name change. One of said checks was asserting that learners with one or more certificates could not change their name without completing IDV. This pull request changes this behavior. Learners may have certificates that are not in a passable status (e.g. "unverified"). We only want to require IDV for name changes for learners that have passing statuses. The existing code prevented learners from changing their name if they had any certificates at all, irrespective of the certificate status. This change only considers certificates in a passable status. Additionally, learners may have certificates and also not be enrolled in any "verified" seats. For example, despite edX no longer offering "honor" seats, learners may have enrollments in "honor" modes, which grant certificates but are not considered "verified" enrollment modes. IDV requires that a learner be enrolled in a "verified" seat in order to complete IDV. Prior to this change, learners that were navigated to IDV to validate a name change were unable to complete IDV. This change introduce a check that a learner is in a "verified" mode in addition to using the NameChangeValidator. This prevents the account MFE from navigating an IDV-ineligible learner to IDV.

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.
