Attendance grade to-date #251

Our users would like the ability to display the grade (in the gradebook) as a sum of points to date.

For example, If a teacher creates an attendance activity, and makes it worth 24 points, when the teacher marks the student present for the first time, the gradebook reflects 24 points for the student. The 24 point total can adjust over time as present/absence marks are recorded, but faculty would like to see more of a running tally for students.

If a faculty assigns attendance as being worth 24 points, and each attendance is worth 1 point, they would like to see a count of 1/24 in the gradebook after the first class meeting.

For faculty who use a sum or points model for their gradebook, the current model can easily inflate student scores initially and students feel misled.

This was referenced in issue #69, but it doesn't seem to have been addressed by any of the reports issues.

Anything is possible with funding, I'm also willing to review pull requests from other developers, but changes to the grading processes need to be carefully considered and should ideally also include behat tests. Feel free to get in touch privately if you are willing to fund the time to work on this.
