This is to fix open-craft/problem-builder#18, where a button marked with 'single-instance' data got disabled, hence its click event handler at edx-platform is not called. This patch solves this issue by correcting the calling order, so that we invoke the click event handler at edx-platform first; then we disable the button.

Hotfix for OC-639:
Bug details:
The old mentoring XBlock uses South migrations to create a table called
mentoring_answers. The new Problem Builder XBlock uses syncdb to create a table also calledmentoring_answers.Unfortunately, if a new edX instance is spun up and mentoring v1 and Problem Builder are both being installed at the same time (as they are if
requirements/edx/edx-private.txtis used), there will be a database error since the South migration will abort when it finds that the table already exists: https://gist.github.com/maxrothman/3868d5e7ad87533a287cBecause syncdb does nothing if the table already exists, an edX instance could only have both blocks installed as long as mentoring was installed and setup in the DB first.
Fix details:
My proposed fix is just to rename the table in Problem Builder. I've also added a data migration that copies all student answers from the
mentoring_answerstable to the new table, which should prevent any students who may be currently using problem builder from losing data.Consequences:
Recovery:
If someone encountered the error seen in the gist link above, it should be possible to recover with:
