Description
course_overviews imports from lms in several places, which goes against the rule that shared code (xmodule, common, openedx) should not depend on service-specific code (cms, lms).
Practically speaking, this causes lint-imports to fail a lot on unrelated PRs, and means we need to add a bunch of exceptions to the importlinter config in setup.cfg.

Research direction
Start by locating the course_overviews imports from lms and review the dependency rule for shared code such as xmodule, common, and openedx. Check setup.cfg and run lint-imports to identify the current violations. Done means course_overviews no longer depends on lms and the unrelated import-linter failures and exceptions are resolved.
