LMS: Some errors handling Non-ASCII data in XML courses have been fixed.

LMS: Add page-load tracking using segment-io (if SEGMENT_IO_LMS_KEY and
SEGMENT_IO_LMS feature flag is on)

back to white.

Blades: For Video Alpha the events ready, play, pause, seek, and speed change
are logged on the server (in the logs).

Common: Safety code added to prevent anything above the vertical level in the

dropped suddenly.
