Backend: Retrieve Course related IDs dynamically.

[Fiwafoofa]

Overview

Currently, there are several values ID values for courses, assignments, and rubric that are hard coded in CanvasIntegrationImpl.java and PhaseUtils.java (and maybe other locations?). Allow for these values to be achieved dynamically, whether from API calls or from the run configuration, to reduce trivial maintenance of the autograder.

Implementation

Ask Michael :P, but likely a series of API calls to Canvas is required. Some potentially useful ones may be

• https://canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/:course_id/assignments to retrieve all the assignments in the 240 course
• https://canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/:course_id/assignments/:assignment_id to retrieve a specific assignment.

As of Spring Term, the course id is 26141. As of Summer Term, the course id is 26822 (This may or not be relevant, but personally when making a request I have to prepend 740700000000 to the course id to make valid requests when testing.)

You'll likely want to experiment with Postman to make this process easier.

The course-settings branch already has a basis for this, I just never got around to completely finishing it
