Andy Shultz fa89221d46 feat: update name affirmation to 0.6.1
Certificate tests required an update to switch from boolean verified
flag to status. This feature is not deployed yet so only test uses
needed attention.

Status: Maintenance

Responsibilities
================
The Certificates app is responsible for creating and managing course run certificates, including relevant data models for invalidating certificates and managing the allowlist.

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.
