Skip HiddenContentTransformer when an earlier transformer removed the course block, which DateOverrideTransformer otherwise recreates as an empty entry and causes `AttributeError: Field self_paced does not exist` (closes #39115).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…emoved

When an earlier transformer removes the course block for a learner,
DateOverrideTransformer can recreate it as an empty entry while applying
course-level dates. HiddenContentTransformer then failed reading
self_paced from that entry with "AttributeError: Field self_paced does
not exist", turning the Blocks API and course outline into a 500.

Closes openedx#39115
