Implementation of the DefinitionKey type, for XBlock content stored in

DEPRECATED: Implementation of the DefinitionKey type, for XBlock content stored in
Blockstore bundles. This was a low-level identifier used within the Open edX
system for identifying and retrieving OLX.
A "Definition" is a specific OLX file in a specific BundleVersion
(or sometimes rather than a BundleVersion, it may point to a named draft.)
The OLX file, and thus the definition key, defines Scope.content fields as
well as defaults for Scope.settings and Scope.children fields. However the
definition has no parent and no position in any particular course or other
context - both of which require a *usage key* and not just a definition key.
The same block definition (.olx file) can be used in multiple places in a
course, each with a different usage key.
Example serialized definition keys follow.
The 'html' type OLX file "html/introduction/definition.xml" in bundle
11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111, bundle version 5:
bundle-olx:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111:5:html:html/introduction/definition.xml
The 'problem' type OLX file "problem324234.xml" in bundle
Example: The 'problem' type OLX file "problem324234.xml" in bundle
22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222, draft 'studio-draft':
bundle-olx:22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222:studio-draft:problem:problem/324234.xml
(The serialized version is somewhat long and verbose because it should
rarely be used except for debugging - the in-memory python key instance will
be used most of the time, and users will rarely/never see definition keys.)
User state should never be stored using a BundleDefinitionLocator as the
key. State should always be stored against a usage locator, which refers to
a particular definition being used in a particular context.
Each BundleDefinitionLocator holds the following data
1. Bundle UUID and [bundle version OR draft name]
2. Block type (e.g. 'html', 'problem', etc.)
3. Path to OLX file
Note that since the data in an .olx file can only ever change in a bundle
draft (not in a specific bundle version), an XBlock that is actively making
changes to its Scope.content/Scope.settings field values must have a
BundleDefinitionLocator with a draft name (not a bundle version).
This key type was deprecated along with Blockstore:
