feat: full edx-platform setup with tutor dev launch -m ...
Before this commit, setting up an edx-platform development environment
took multiple steps:

   tutor dev launch
   tutor dev run --mount=/path/to/edx-platform lms bash
   >> pip install -e .
   >> npm clean-install
   >> openedx-assets build --env=dev

This commit moves the steps under ``run`` into an init task, which
is automatically run by ``launch``. Thus, setup is now one command:

   tutor dev launch --mount=edx-platform

These extra init steps are only applicable when bind-mounting
edx-platform (because bind-mounting the repository overrides
some important artifacts that exist on the image, which must be
re-generated). Thus, the new init tasks exists early if it detects
that it is *not* operating on a bind-mounted repository.

Finally, we try to simplify the Open edX development docs so that
it is clearer how bind-mounting fits into the development process.

These bind-mounts:

* ../build/openedx/themes:/openedx/themes
* ../build/openedx/requirements:/openedx/requirements

existed in the dev lms and cms containers, but they did
not exist in the lms-job and cms-job containers.

This means that themes and requirements that were *built into the
image* would exist in the job containers, but live updates to the
themes and requirements would not apply.

To resolve this, we set ``volumes:`` on the lms-job and cms-job
services so that they match the volumes for the normal lms and
cms services.

  • [Improvement] Running tutor dev launch --mount=edx-platform now performs all necessary setup for a local edx-platform development. This includes running setup.py, installing node modules, and building assets; previously, those steps had to be run explicitly after bind-mounting a local copy of edx-platform (by @kdmccormick).
