Kyle McCormick b626a43fa1 fix: Rename some tasks to match new import paths (#26236)
Several tasks are explicitly named as (or like)
their old, deprecated import path.

The issue here is that django-user-tasks listens for task
invocations, and attempts to import the task based on its name.
If the task name is completely wrong, user-tasks will catch
the ImportError and move on.
If the task is a valid *deprecated* import, though, then
user-tasks will choke on the raised `DeprecatedEdxPlatformImportError`.

Thus, we must rename three tasks to their new full path:
1. entitlements.expire_old_enrollments
2. third_party_auth.fetch_saml_metadata
3. student.send_activation_email

The first two are run daily, and so are safe to be
renamed in place.

The third task must be renamed using an expand-contract
pattern; otherwise, we would drop hundreds of tasks
during the App vs. Worker out-of-sync version window
that happens at deployments.
This commit is the expand phase.

Status: Maintenance

Responsibilities
================
The Student app supplements Django's default user information with student-specific information like User Profiles and Enrollments. This has made it a catch all place for a lot of functionality that we want to move into more dedicated places. For instance, while the CourseEnrollment models remain in this app for now, most Enrollment related functionality has already moved to the Enrollment app.

If you are thinking of adding something here, strongly consider adding a new Django app instead. If you are extending something here, please consider extracting it into a separate app.

Intended responsibility: Student dashboard functionality.
