course: provide a way when doing peer grading for the student to enter their final score so that it is displayed directly in the .course file after the peer grading is collected

One idea is that the assignment directory might contain a file ".cocalc-grade.txt". If that exists, then the cocalc UI changes and has a big place at the top for a score to be entered that is about all files in that directory. The format might be as follows:

arbitrary instructions...
---
the grade
---
additional free form comments

• When doing peer grading the course would create this file and include it. The "arbitrary instructions" could be customized by the instructions.
• When collecting peer grading, the course would parse this file and include in the info shown to the instructors.

This is now implemented. What I ended up doing is making it so there is a GRADING-GUIDE.md file for each copy of each assignment that the student should grade, and the student enters a grade there. There's a default format, which looks like this when configuring peer grading:

When grading, the students fills in the grade and an optional comment:

When you collect grades, the grades are PARSED out of the GRADE-GUIDE.md file. They are used to fill in the comment and grade for the student:

The instructor can change the grade however they want. By default it is the average of the peer grades.
