feat: Add ability to assign different exercises to each student automatically

• Kind: feature

• Close Feature: Add ability to assign different exercises to each student automatically #531

Description

If you are a teacher with a large number of students and want to assign a different set of exercises to each student based on their level and exercise difficulty, this can be a time-consuming process.

With this feature, you can save time and effort when assigning exercises to your students on the Learn-OCaml platform.

Checklist

• Read the CONTRIBUTING.md guide and:
  • Use Atomic Commits so each commit gathers a single logical change
  • Use Conventional Commits regarding commit messages (needed by our release toolchain)
• Add/update documentation

Note to maintainers

• Read this wiki page.
• Make sure the PR has a milestone.
• Assign yourself before merging.
• Either do a regular merge:
  • for PRs containing several commits following conventional-commits,
  • or for PRs containing 1 commit shared with a later PR (to preserve the SHA1)
• Or do a squash-merge:
  • for PRs containing only 1 commit (not shared with a later PR),
  • or for PRs containing several commits that need not be kept in the history;
  • → Update the commit message header with a conventional-commit type,
  • → Add a footer Close #… if a related issue exists.

Thanks @Rui00Barata for your contribution!

We started discussed with @AltGr about your PR (just briefly for the time being), to sum up at this point:

• it is not very clear for us if the implemented feature is already doable with the current learn-ocaml.master (namely, it is already possible from the teacher dashboard to assign specific exercises to a subset of students, e.g., filtered by tags)
• some parts of the PR looks not-enough documented, typically like this fragment:

  let p = [|[|1;1;1;2;2|]|]
  let a = [|[|1;1;2;2;2|]; [|1;1;2;2;3|]|]
  let e = [|[|2;2;3;3;3|]; [|2;2;2;3;3|]|]
  

  e.g. what is the exact semantics of each array?, why choosing array instead of mere lists?
  and also, one may want to make these settings configurable.

Anyway at this point, I guess @AltGr and us will try the branch soon; look more closely at the code; and return to you of course.

Thanks!
