Update 1.4

This update adds the support of groups and groupings.

If a Random activity is set to a group mode (separate or visible groups have the same effect), students of the same group will be assigned to the same activity (with only groups of the selected grouping being considered). For this new feature to work, students need to be assigned to exactly one group in the grouping. If it is not the case, they will be assigned individually.

If a Random activity is set to no groups mode, teachers can display only a given group, and evenly split students among this group only.
