Test: Add Confirmation for Saving Last Test Question for Tests with Duration

1 Initial Problem

Currently, a test with the "Limit Duration of Test"-setting ends automatically with the expiry of the set time, unless a participant ends the test itself.

A participant in an e-exam sees then the redirecting-site and afterward the test-tab.

This means that the last answer may not be available as an authorized answer, but only as auto-save content (regardless of the auto-save setting).

The solution, to change the behavior and set the last answer as automatically authorized saved with the expiry of the time, has proven to be inappropriate. (--> Ghost Attempts).

Participants should always control, what answer they want to save  as autorized. This should not be controlled by ILIAS.

2 Conceptual Summary

We propose to add a redirect after the expiry of the time to a confirmation site. There, the participant can decide if the last answer should be saved as authorized or not. 
If not, the existing procedure is retained (Answer is saved as auto save content). After the confirmation site, the participant will be redirected to the Test-Tab (ILIAS 9 & 10) / Info-Tab (ILIAS 8) (Note: only if this will be confirmed as Dev Issue for ILIAS 8 and 9 by the JF).
The redirection only takes place, if the browser is still open when the time expires. In other cases, the duration expires on the server, the test can't be continued and will be finished by the cronjob "Finish Uncompleted Attempts", if this cronjob is activated.

• ilTestPlayerFixedQuestionSetGU --> redirectAfterAutosave

3.2 User Interface Details

As this feature redirects the participant, a modal is not possible. The confirmation site has a warning-message box with the Question "The duration of this test has ended, and this test attempt will be finished. Do you want to save your last open answer? Or should your answer discarded?".  The buttons are labeled with "Yes, I want to save my last open answer" and "No, discard my last open answer".
