Convert Learner Dashboard to frontend-base

[arbrandes]

Description

Convert the Learner Dashboard MFE to use frontend-base, as per https://github.com/openedx/frontend-base/blob/main/docs/how_tos/migrate-frontend-app.md.

The converted code will remain in a long-lived frontend-base branch.

Dropped features

The following features are removed as part of the conversion:

• Hotjar
• Notices
• robots.txt
• react-helmet (setting favicon and page title)
• Optimizely
• Show support email in case of network failure (it couldn't work, as the support email was fetched from the backend... via the network)
• NON_BROWSABLE_COURSES is removed and effectively always true ("Discover New" always shows in the default header)
• Tracking hooks in the header

DEPR tickets will be created and linked above as necessary.
