Random assignment

Random assignment is a plugin for assignments (based on advanced upload) with following properties:
Teacher specifies one or more files for assignments and (optionally) solution files with the same names
Each student gets one of these files randomly
In the assignment feedback page, teacher sees the assignment file and optionally the solution file as well.
Random assignment is an attempt to handle larger classes of students. For this purpose, we generate a series of html (txt, pdf) files with the same structure but different numbers. In addition, we generate corresponding files with hints to solutions for teachers.
