This completes the work started in https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/19453
to use the LMS login and registration for Studio, rather than Studio
providing its own implementation.

LMS login/registration are being used for the following reasons:
1. LMS logistration properly handles all SSO integrations.
2. A single logistration is simpler to maintain and understand.
3. Allows Studio to work more like all other IDAs that use LMS
logistration.

The original switch to use LMS logistration for Studio also added the
toggle `DISABLE_STUDIO_SSO_OVER_LMS` to provide the community some
additional time for switching. This commit removes this toggle, which
at this point means all deployments will use the LMS logistration.

This change requires sharing cookies across LMS and Studio. Should that
prove to be a problem for certain Open edX instances, there are
discussions of possible alternative solutions.
See https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/19845#issuecomment-559154256

Detailed changes:
* Fix some Studio links that still went to old Studio signin and signup.
* Remove DISABLE_STUDIO_SSO_OVER_LMS feature toggle.
* Remove old studio signin and signup pages and templates.
* Fix url name "login", which had different meanings for Studio and LMS.
* Use the following settings: LOGIN_URL, FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL,
FRONTEND_LOGOUT_URL, and FRONTEND_REGISTER_URL.
* Redirect /signin and /signup to the LMS logistration.
* Add custom metric `uses_pattern_library`.
* Add custom metric `student_activate_account`.
* Add Django Settings to allow /signin, /signup, and /login_post to be
disabled once ready.

This work also relates to ARCH-218 and DEPR-6.
