Support reset and bulk reset of submissions by students

• reset = reset to unsaved (=empty answers or reset to template (programming), but not deleting submissions); keep revisions; keep discussions;
  • variant? you keep the same variant. Allowing other variant is different feature/functionality.
• reset capability should be enabled explicitly by course staff, but can be applied recursively
  • default is false, even when imported/copied/created within folder which has it enabled
• on reset, show a dialog with confirmation and a view of the subtree (with checkboxes for selection?) for submissions to reset. Show assignments which cannot be reset as greyed out, including the reason why
  • indicator for not passed deadline
  • let student type sentence as confirmation (?)
• do not reset assignments that may not be edited or are “high risk”, i.e.:
  1. a passed deadline or inaccessible assignment
  2. exam tickets enabled
  3. have reset-function set to false
  4. for now, don’t support group submissions
• keep in mind that there may be “feedback” assignments (at the end of a folder), which staff doesn’t like to be reset, so they should be able to disable this feature.
