This method will load all course, sections and cm states needed to initialize the frontend
course editor module. The state data of every individual course, section and cm is
build using the specifics "state" output components.

By default, the states are generated by:
- core_courseformat\output\state\course
- core_courseformat\output\state\section
- core_courseformat\output\state\cm

As the other main course outputs, format plugins can override those output components
to send more information to the frontend course editor. These extended classes should
be located in format_XXX\output\courseformat\state\course, format_XXX\output\courseformat\state\section
or format_XXX\output\courseformat\state\cm.
