+Sync DiscussionsConfiguration.enabled and CourseAppStatus.enabled with
+CourseOverviewTab.is_hidden.
+
+When a course is imported, the discussion tab's is_hidden value is carried over
+from the source course. However, DiscussionsConfiguration.enabled and
+CourseAppStatus.enabled default to True and are not updated from the imported
+tab state, causing a desync.
+
+This migration reads each discussion tab from CourseOverviewTab (a DB cache of
+course tabs) and sets both DiscussionsConfiguration.enabled and
+CourseAppStatus.enabled to NOT is_hidden.
