note this is inconsistent with the above comment, which claims that we are making all the apps available.
I don't think I'm in favor of this approach; in particular, the existing app-specific locale files are not intended to be used together and there is no guarantee that they won't have conflicts. I'd recommend that we install only the common blockly blocks for now, and as follow-up work look into either adding an app association to content levels or unifying the app locales in general.

From our conversation offline, I have created TODO's and a follow up JIRA task which we will get prioritized for Jan 2020.

I talked with Bryan and found out he is mostly interested in being able to render Turtle Blockly blocks. So I have removed the second level type "maze" from the blocks imported. This way we don't have to do cleanup in January and we will still do the dynamic level type loading later in H1.

In Content levels, such as External levels, level creators were taking screenshots of Blockly blocks and adding them to the instructions in order to give a preview to the student of what the blocks look like. This has become a problem because screenshots are not translatable and we are expanding our content to be used internationally. * Added common, maze, and turtle CDO blocks to Content levels. * <xml> blocks in Markdown content render as Blockly blocks.
