Description
Settings should be named correctly documented using code annotations.
Might need to have some backcompat code to keep support for the old setting name for 1 release.
I'm not clear if AUTHORING_API_URL is actually used. If it's not, we should remove it.

Research direction
Search the Django settings definitions and references for AUTHORING_API_URL and OPENEDX_LEARNING, starting by confirming whether AUTHORING_API_URL is used. Determine the correct annotated names and whether one release of backward compatibility is required; the work is done when obsolete naming is handled consistently and the settings are documented.
