Add support to EDXAPP_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS. These requirements are used in production Ansible deployment scripts, but never were incorporated in the devstack.
@OmarIthawi introduced a way in our devstack (devstack#42) to install extra pip packages without modifying edx-platform. This PR introduces a new configuration variable (EDXAPP_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS) that utilizes Omar's work, so it won't work on any devstack except Appsembler's, unfortunately.
The configuration variable expects a comma-separated list of pip packages git repos:
To specify the version, simply add ==<branch_or_tag> after the repo link. If no version is specified, we will default to the main branch of the repo.
If the package you're installing is a Django app, then you might need to consider adding the app name to your ADDL_INSTALLED_APPS in your lms/cms YAML configs.
Note
This change is based on #76 (Hence first commit), so I won't be merging it until the PR is approved and merged.
