Comment Service get extented by Feedback Messages for Exercises

1 Initial Problem

Oftentimes students want feedback providers to elaborate on their feedback e.g. "What did you mean by xy?"

This would also be furthering their feedbacking skills which is considered a very important skill.

The commenting service is not sufficient because it does not allow dialogue partners to remain anonymous.

2 Conceptual Summary

A new type of message is to be implemented for the Comment Service: Dialoges

1. Participants who received a feedback can click on "Open Message".
2. Feedback Provider are sent a message with a link to the message unterneath the feedback that they provided.
3. Feedback Provider can access the message and also may prvode an answer.
4. A mail is sent it comprises a link to the message.

On the database level, it will be neccesary to add a unique id for each peer feedback entry in order to be able to use the commenting / notes service like other contexts do (rep_obj_id + "internal" obj_id). Right now, the table "exc_assignment_peer" does not provide such an "internal" id (only ass_id which only references the exercise unit the peer feedback belongs to).
