Three distinct defects combined to break anonymous (unauthenticated)
access to video blocks on public courses with the unenrolled-access
waffle enabled:

1. CourseNavigationBlocksView.completions_dict queried BlockCompletion
   with request.user, which raised TypeError for AnonymousUser and
   returned a 500 from the navigation API. Short-circuit with an empty
   mapping for anonymous users.
2. _has_access_course.can_load did not bypass check_course_open_for_learner
   for anonymous users on public courses, so public courses with future
   start dates returned StartDateError and render_xblock converted it to
   a 404. Grant load access when the course is public and the waffle is
   enabled.
3. _has_access_to_block.can_load had the same gap at the block level,
   causing blocks with inherited future start dates to 404 even after
   the course-level check passed. Mirror the public-access bypass at
   the block level, keyed off the CourseOverview.

Gating in all three sites reuses check_public_access, so the existing
COURSE_ENABLE_UNENROLLED_ACCESS_FLAG + COURSE_VISIBILITY_PUBLIC contract
continues to govern who sees what. Authenticated users, masquerading
staff, and non-public courses are unaffected.

Closes #38019

When can I expect my changes to be merged?

Our goal is to get community contributions seen and reviewed as efficiently as possible.
