- 💥[Improvement] Upgrade Open edX to Koa
- 💥 Setting changes:
    - The ``ACTIVATE_HTTPS`` setting was renamed to ``ENABLE_HTTPS``.
    - Other ``ACTIVATE_*`` variables were all renamed to ``RUN_*``.
    - The ``WEB_PROXY`` setting was removed and ``RUN_CADDY`` was added.
    - The ``NGINX_HTTPS_PORT`` setting is deprecated.
- Architectural changes:
    - Use Caddy as a web proxy for automated SSL/TLS certificate generation:
	- Nginx no longer listens to port 443 for https traffic
	- The Caddy configuration file comes with a new ``caddyfile`` patch for much simpler SSL/TLS management.
	- Configuration files for web proxies are no longer provided.
	- Kubernetes deployment no longer requires setting up a custom Ingress resource or custom manager.
    - Gunicorn and Whitenoise are replaced by uwsgi: this increases boostrap performance and makes it no longer necessary to mount media folders in the Nginx container.
    - Replace memcached and rabbitmq by redis.
- Additional features:
    - Make it possible to disable all plugins at once with ``plugins disable all``.
    - Add ``tutor k8s wait`` command to wait for a pod to become ready
    - Faster, more reliable static assets with local memory caching
- Deprecation: proxy files for Apache and Nginx are no longer provided out of the box.
- Removed plugin `{{ patch (...) }}` statements:
    - "https-create", "k8s-ingress-rules", "k8s-ingress-tls-hosts": these are no longer necessary. Instead, declare your app in the "caddyfile" patch.
    - "local-docker-compose-nginx-volumes": this patch was primarily used to serve media assets. The recommended is now to serve assets with uwsgi.
