Deprecation/Removal: OfficeMix XBlock (DEPR-10)

[David Ormsbee]

Hi folks,

The OfficeMix XBlock that comes installed by default with edx-platform (https://github.com/OfficeDev/xblock-officemix) relies on a third party API endpoint that has been discontinued. As a result, no content using this XBlock can actually function in a course. Therefore, we're going to be removing it. It can still be pip-installed directly from its repo for those who want to keep it.

This is the ticket for tracking purposes: https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/DEPR-10

If you have any questions or concerns, please reply to this email or comment on the ticket. If there are no comments by 4/16, I will move forward with removal.

Thank you.

Dave
