I still need to review enable_lti, index, and tpa_providers. I know it's a lot of comments, many are simply that "Open edX" has been repeatedly used as a noun when it needs to be used as an adjective.

This will depend on the org. But my assumption is that it'll be educators is most cases since they'll be the ones creating content in Open edX, constructing URLs and then configuring those URLs in other LMSes.

This PR updates educator and site operator docs for Open edX as an LTI provider. These updates are a result of some testing that i've conducted with Canvas along with some code review via Claude.
