Add historical "activity" view to client about prairielearn HOT 2 CLOSED

My old notes on this issue:

We would like to have a simple interface for the students to see which questions they have done in the past, and what happened with each question. This should consist of several parts:

Server-side changes

The server needs to be changed to support pagination as follows.

/submissions should take offset and limit query parameters. The response should then include just entries in the range [offset, offset + limit - 1]. All counts are zero-indexed, so specifying offset = 0 and limit = 10 would give the first 10 entries, while offset = 40 and limit = 10 would give the fifth block of 10 entries.

Activity page

The activity page should be nicely styled as a paged table view using the bootstrap pagination component. The server-side changes listed above will enable each page to be fetched efficiently.

The date-time objects in the activity report are in ISO 8601 format in UTC. These should be displayed in the user's local timezone (see this blog post).

Each submission line on the activity page should specify:

• date/time
• question title
• score for this submission

Each submission line should link to a view of the completed question, showing the users' answer and the grading data, including score and the solution if available.

This would be helpful for students doing Homework assessments. Exam assessments already show all submissions to a question, but for Homeworks the history information vanishes.

It would be great to add a new page called pages/studentInstanceQuestionHistory that shows a list of all submissions to a particular instance question. This could be linked from a "History" button in the sidebar of Homework questions.

The list of submissions should not show the submissions themselves, but rather should just be a big table listing the time of submission, the score, and a link to the question page with the ?variant_id= query parameter set so that it will show that exact variant.
