Deprecation/Removal: edx-platform asset processing in Paver

Hi folks :wave:

We are replacing edx-platform’s current asset system for building, collecting & watching assets. The old implementation uses Paver; the new implemenation will use Bash and management commands.

The replacement is still in progress. We are announcing this deprecation now so that concerns can be caught early. Please comment here in this thread if you have high-level concerns; comment in the issue (or any of the issues it links to) if you’d like to discuss the technical implementation.

When the replacement is complete, these migration guides can be used:

Heads up! I have just updated the DEPR issue with a couple Django settings that will also be removed: JS_ENV_EXTRA_CONFIG and WEBPACK_CONFIG_PATH. I also extended the comment period to Monday, April 3rd.
