The `dev` commands now rely on a different openedx-dev docker image.
This gives us multiple improvements:
- no more chown in base image
- faster chown in development
- mounted requirements volume in development
- fix static assets issues
- bundled ipdb/vim/... packages, which are convenient for development

This has an impact on plugin hooks. Plugin hooks that needed to run
inside mysql-client now need to run inside mysql container. This
simplifies the deployment, as we no longer have an empty mysql-client
container sitting around.
When mysql is not enabled (ACTIVATE_MYSQL=False) the mysql container is
simply a mysql client.
We ran into an issue when trying to run migrations when the MinIO plugin
is activated. As seen in issues #243 and #244, the
certificates.0003_data__default_modes migration requires access to
MinIO. To do so, the MinIO host must be reached. That means that SSL
certificates must be in place (if https is enabled) and that the nginx
server must be booted. However, it does not make sense to require that
the minio container depends on the nginx container. So, in effect, we
need a fully working platform to run migrations.
In a sense, this is better as it harmonises the init task with k8s: in
k8s, init was already run with exec.
Next step is to get rid of these ugly mysql-client/minio-client
containers that must be up at all times. It would be much simpler to
just exec the commands inside the mysql/minio containers.
All existing plugins are added to the binary bundle, in their latest
version, so that users don't need to pip install tutor.
Also, the tutor MANIFEST.in file was removed to simplify the management
of package data.

- [Bugfix] Fix missing video transcripts in LMS (#229)
- [Improvement] Make it possible to enable/disable multiple plugins at
once
- [Improvement] Add a few local and k8s patches for plugins
Video transcripts uploaded in the CMS were not visible in the LMS. This
was a symptom caused by the fact that the LMS and the CMS do not share
the same MEDIA_ROOT. We initially thought that data uploaded in the CMS
(such as transcripts) was stored in a shared data service, such as
mongodb. It is, in fact, not. This makes it even more important to run
an object storage service like minio for distributed services.
Close #229
The 0003 migration from the certificates app of the LMS requires that
the S3-like platform is correctly setup during initialisation. To solve
this issue, we introduce a pre-init hook that is run prior to the LMS
migrations.
