This change is a follow-up to the chages in PR 8347, which removed the edX login page from the workflow for a new user. Where previously we redirected a user to the login page, PR 8347 instead creates a new user transparently and logs them in. The initial reason for splitting the LTI view between lti_launch and lti_run was so that there was a target for the GET request that followed the login page. Since we no longer use the login page, we no longer need the second view. We also don't need to store the LTI parameters in the session any more, since they are not persisting between calls. This simplifies the view logic significantly. The other change here is to fetch the LtiConsumer object early in the view, and pass it to the SignatureValidator and scoring system. When the views were split, this required multiple DB hits for the same data; we're now only fetching it once.

This change allows the LTI provider to pass grades back to the campus LMS platform using the LTI outcome service. For full details of the outcome service, see: http://www.imsglobal.org/LTI/v1p1/ltiIMGv1p1.html In brief, the LTI 1.1 spec defines an outcome service that can be offered by an LTI consumer. The consumer determines whether a score should be returned (in Canvas, this means that the LTI tool is used in an assignment, and the launch was performed by a student). If so, it sends two additional parameters along with the LTI launch: lis_outcome_service_url: the endpoint for the outcome service on the consumer; lis_result_sourcedid: a unique identifier for the row in the gradebook (i.e. the tool/student/assignment combination). The LTI Provider launch view detects the presence of these optional fields, and creates database records for the specific Outcome Service and for the graded LTI launch. Later, when a score on edX changes (identified using the signal mechanism from previous LTI Provider pull requests), a Celery task is launched to pass the score back to the LTI consumer.
