A popular convention is to have user accounts stored in a separate authentication
database. This change add support for configuring edx-platform to work with
such a setup.

The `NoneType` object is not available from the `types` module in
python 3. This is a workaronud to deal with that.

* Minimum possible changes were made to merge CapaModule & CapaDescriptor into
  one ProblemBlock class.
* There are no known changes in behavior.
* CapaModule and CapaDescriptor inherited from a number of classes which inherit
  from XModule or XModuleDescriptor but did not depend on them. For all these
  classes the methods were moved to mixins which did not inherit from either and
  then these mixins were added to ProblemBlock in the order which maintains MRO.

The Randomized Content Block XBlock only randomizes the selection of
the children blocks and has unpredictable randomization of
the order of the selected child blocks due to the usage of sets, which
are unordered, for storing the selected blocks. This becomes apparent
when all the available child blocks in a library are chosen for a
Randomized Content Block, to randomize just the order of the child
blocks and not just the selection of the blocks. The order of the
selected blocks ends up being similar for multiple learners.

This change modifies the XBlock to store the selected child blocks in
a list, instead of a set, after randomly shuffling them.

This adds a new django app -- edx-when -- that will copy start and due dates to mysql and allow per-learner overrides in the instructor dashboard, using the existing IDDE interface.
It adds a data migration for existing IDDE data.
