storage location not respected on course import

[samuelallan72]

When a course with video transcripts is imported, the path location is not respected; it goes in the root of the storage. Everything else (eg. reading transcripts) appears to correctly respect the location.

For example, if I have the following config (tutor default + tutor-contrib-s3):

MEDIA_ROOT = "/openedx/media/"
VIDEO_TRANSCRIPTS_SETTINGS["STORAGE_KWARGS"]["location"] = MEDIA_ROOT
STORAGES['default']['BACKEND'] = "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage"
VIDEO_TRANSCRIPTS_SETTINGS["STORAGE_KWARGS"]["location"] = VIDEO_TRANSCRIPTS_SETTINGS["STORAGE_KWARGS"]["location"].lstrip("/")

And I import a course with transcripts, the transcripts will be saved to video-transcripts/ in s3, but it will try reading the transcripts from openedx/media/video-transcripts.

I believe I've been able to reproduce similar behaviour with the new STORAGES based setting, although I think maybe the transcript file didn't get uploaded at all. Perhaps more testing is required there:

STORAGES["video_transcripts"] = {
      "BACKEND": "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage",
      "OPTIONS": {
          "bucket_name": "{{ S3_STORAGE_BUCKET }}",
          "location": "",
      },
}

I think it's working with the STORAGES based setting, but I'm getting inconsistent results. It would be great if someone else can double check. :)
