icons indicated exercise set type #2264

We have a clock icon for sets that are timed tests which are still open to take. This appears on the main "Homework Sets" page.

This adds another icon for all other tests, so that there is an indicator that the set is a test (because that is not always clear from the name an instructor gives to the test.)

Additionally, these icons now appear in the Set Manager table so that the instructor can easily see where the tests are.

Lastly, the instructor might also want to see which sets are JITAR sets while in the Set Manager, so there is an icon for this too. I left that out of the "Homework Sets" page because I am not sure how useful that indicator would be for students.

I forget if we had conclusions about this from today to change it. Some questions might be:

I lean toward simplicity and just having the one test icon and no more clock. So the "Homework Sets" page ("Assignments" once #2265 is merged) would only have one possible icon showing.

And then in "Set Manager" ("Sets Manager") there would also be the icon indicating JITAR.

That sounds good to me.

For the JITAR icon, we could go with this icon instead :)

Thanks, I committed both suggestions.
