Description

This PR adds a Date Course App to the Pages and Resources API, enabling course authors to hide the Dates tab from learners using the authoring MFE. The app is behind a feature flag and will only be displayed when the settings.ENABLE_DATES_COURSE_APP is set to True.

Useful information to include:

  • Which edX user roles will this change impact? Common user roles are "Learner", "Course Author".
  • Include screenshots for changes to the UI (ideally, both "before" and "after" screenshots, if applicable).

  • Provide links to the description of corresponding configuration changes. Remember to correctly annotate these
    changes.

As far as I understand, the FEATURES dict is deprecated, so please just make this a direct settings. ENABLE_DATES_COURSE_APP instead of referring to the FEATURES dict.

I also noticed that this PR only hides the dates tab, but not the dates sidebar, which links to the same page. Its link still works.
