feat: enable django flags support

[pb82]

SUMMARY

Enable support for django flags.

Verification steps:

1. Start AWX locally
2. Start a bash shell in the container: docker exec -it tools_awx_1 /bin/bash
3. Set a test flag: python manage.py enable_flag TEST_FLAG
4. Add the following code to one of the views (e.g. the ping view):

from flags.state import flag_state
print(flat_state('TEST_FLAG'))

5. ensure that the value True is printed when accessing the route for the view
6. Disable the flag: python manage.py disable_flag TEST_FLAG
7. ensure that the value False is printed

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

[AlanCoding]

These are still dependencies of DAB. They were added somewhat recently.

https://github.com/ansible/django-ansible-base/blob/devel/requirements/requirements_resource_registry.in

You probably generated this output incorrectly by using an outdated container image.

I also don't understand why we would add a dependency before we make any use of this dependency.

[pb82]

@AlanCoding I made sure to pull the latest changes and rebuild the container image. But after running ./updater run I still end up with the django-ansible-base comments removed.

[AlanCoding]

I don't want to bikeshed on this too much, but requests is still a requirement of DAB resource_registry, which is an AWX requirement.

https://github.com/ansible/django-ansible-base/blob/devel/requirements/requirements_resource_registry.in

So yes, it is unexpected that this got removed. But I can't say why.

[pb82]

I'll see if I can find the reason for that.
