This module handles loading xmodule templates
These templates are used by the CMS to provide content that overrides xmodule defaults for
samples.

``Template``s are defined in x_module. They contain 2 attributes:
    :metadata: A dictionary with the template metadata
    :data: A JSON value that defines the template content
