Description

backend feature frontend

Implement asynchronous grading. Submitting assignment should return an OK/Fail response, triggering a "grading" job and closing the upload window.

The job should be handled by a separate thread (from main thread), which updates some in-memory variables relating to the status/progress of the job.

Frontend can continously poll a "status" endpoint to read the status of the job until it finishes.

This is essential, as current system will fail to handle a long-running autograder, or multiple submissions at once, which will slow the system.
