Description
Depends on: https://github.com/openedx/xblocks-contrib/issues/237
Background: xblocks-core was one of the original name suggestions for the repo... I think aximprovements had suggested it. I had been against the name, because I thought that the blocks here (HTML, Problem) were only a subset of what we called the "Core" in OEP-57. But since we're now looking to merge in blocks like PDFBLock and DragAndDropV2, "core" would actually be an appropriate name, and it's easier to understand than "contrib" (which was inspired by django.contrib).
