E1904 Issues related to topic deadlines
The following modifications were made so far:
1. Copied in some code from the previous semester's implementation of this project (they didn't do it properly and weren't permitted to check-in)
2. Successfully recreated Expertiza issue #98
3. Added field auto_dropped_from_waitlist to SignedUpTeam
4. When checking whether a team needs to be removed from the waitlist, looped through all waitlisted teams on all topics for which the drop topic deadline has passed
5. Renamed the update_is_waitlisted method to clear_waitlisted_teams_for_topic to better reflect what the method does
6. Verified Expertiza issue #98 has been fixed
7. Tested to ensure things work if it’s a staggered deadline assignment
8. Updated documentation on wiki
Still yet to complete:
1. Refactor code implementation for fixing of Expertiza issue #98
2. Fix Expertiza issue #154

Other related issues found:
- When editing an assignment's due dates, the drop topic deadline won't display unless the signup deadline is displayed
- When a student is on the waitlist for more than one topic, only the row for one of the topics is grey
- There seems to be about a 20 minute drop topic deadline lag, some of the time
