refactor: remove XModule JS from Django Pipeline
`module-js` and `module-descriptor-js` are old JavaScript group indicators, left over from when we managed XModule assets via Django Pipeline. We would like to get rid of them in order to make it easier to build XModule JS without using Python. There is one single usage of `module-js` in the entire platform (the rest have been replaced with Webpack references, which is the less-outdated way of managing XModule assets :). The lone `module-js` reference was added in 2013 [1] so that circuit diagrams would display in the course wiki. However, the ability to render circuits in the wiki was removed in 2015 [2], so it is safe to remove the reference. There is also one single usage of `module-descriptor-js`. It's in the legacy bulk email editor, which hackily cribs from the old HtmlBlock editor. Fortunately, we are able to simply replace the Django Pipeline reference with the equivalent XModule JS Webpack bundle. (Note: The old email editor is currently still supported, but is currently being replaced by frontend-app-communications, so this hack will be gone eventually). Finally, this commit also sneaks in one styling fix: it adds the HtmlBlockEditor CSS back to the aforementioned legacy bulk email page. The missing CSS was causing a read-only 1-line codemirror editor to appear below the HTML editor [3]. This bug was introduced during the original XModule SCSS decoupling [4], which removed builtin block CSS from the LMS-wide bundle, thus removing the HTML editor CSS from the bulk email page. We imagine that nobody noticed because the bug only exists in master (not Palm) and frontend-app-communications seems to be globally enabled on edx.org. As a simple fix, we add the new CSS link to the legacy bulk email page, and it renders fine again [5]. References: 1. openedx@3fc59b3 2. openedx#10324 3.
