Restrict Relative Deadlines by Latest Submission Date

1 Initial Problem

Relative deadlines cannot be restricted to a specified date by which all students must have submitted their work, regardless of start date.

2 Conceptual Summary

A new subsetting 'Latest Submission' (DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm) is introduced for the relative deadline option. If reached all submissions are blocked, even if a user has not used all of the days given for the exercise. The idea behind this is that students should be allowed to organize themselves by allowing them to choose when to start an assignment, while still being able to have a final date by which all students must have completed their assignments.

ILIAS can check if the creation date of the assignment + days given for an assignment does not exeed the latest submission date. I.e. if the assignment is created on 01.01.2020 10:00 o'clock and workings days is set to 10, the earliest latest submission date that can be set would be 11.01.2010 10:00 o'clock. The owner of the assignment (tutor, admin) is responsible for reasonable settings.

The 'Latest Submission' setting is fully optional, default = OFF (not set).

Killing, Alexander [alex], 4 Apr 2019: Since this adds another complexity to the scheduling, more refactoring should be done to ensure code maintainability.
