Add release notes for 061a46be, concerning change to beta-tester groups

Sarina/dormsbee grades download

remove field_data_cache from grades.grade and grades.progress_summary

cleans grading code by adding wrappers

Ned/pr 1745 lms 1492

Webob represents uploaded files as cgi.FieldStorage objects.  The
XModule code expects pure Python file objects.  Each FieldStorage object
is wrapped to present the proper file interface, with file names.

LMS-1492

One test passes already, the other fails.  Fix in next commit.

These changes prepare for the changes to the tests that are coming, but
make no change to the behavior themselves.

Having ENABLE_S3_GRADE_DOWNLOADS enabled by default in common.py
could lead to surprising behavior for folks downstream. They'd
suddenly see a grade download screen on their new instructor
dashboard, but the links by default would be local files and
couldn't be used in an actual production environment. So we disable
by default and let people explicitly enable it and set it up for
S3 if they wish.

Ned/cherry pick pr 1740

Fix LMS-1493

This allows XModules (specifically CombinedOpenEnded) to use ajax_url
during their init functions (which would, before, have thrown an
exception).

[LMS-1493]

Under normal operation, XModules are reloaded on each request from a
student. CombinedOpenEnded modules have code that runs at initialization
that validates the students state. These changes makes that code run
during several long-form unit tests (testing CombinedOpenEnded across
multiple 'requests').

These tests are marked as expectedFailure because they now exhibit the
same failures as observed in [LMS-1493] (namely, the students state gets
reset, because CombinedOpenEnded interprets system.ajax_url raising an
error as meaning that the problem definition and the student answers are
in conflict)

'ignore' shouldn't be use for ascii conversion

The input string is not expected to contain any unicode characters

Adding a YAML file to demonstrate how to include anonymized user IDs in Studio elements.

The forcing of IDs to non-draft must happen in base.py instead of draft....

fixes issue where STATIC_URL was overwritten without git.revision

The draft.py solution only worked when the parent was also in the draft store.

Alert users when forum AJAX requests fail 

AJAX requests on forums pages occasionally fail (usually when a request
to the comments service times out), but the user is not made aware of
the failure. This manifests as either the system not appearing to store
state (e.g. if an attempt to flag a post fails) or something taking
forever to load. Now, a modal will pop up to alert the user that a
request has failed and instruct them to reload the page.

In the longer term, we should fix each user gesture that results in an
AJAX call to gracefully handle a failure by resetting the state of the
world appropriately and aleritng the user.
