Epic: Automate generation of student repositories for group projects

[stevebrownlee]

This effort will encompass our effort to take Github Classroom out of our process for handling student assessments and assigning learners to group project repositories. It should offer a nearly self-service UX for both the students and the instructors for the following tasks.

1. Requesting an assessment
2. Updating student status
3. Generating repos
4. Assigning collaborators to corresponding repos
5. Messaging via Slack (to both students and instructors)

Need Grooming

• Create a new Github Project if it is a group project (https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/automating-your-project/using-the-api-to-manage-projects#creating-projects)
• Automate the migration of tickets from template repo to the student repo. This will be hefty (error handling, re-migration of failed tickets, reporting, etc)
