[Assignments] Due Date Templates

Problem statement:

Some courses are set up so that "Lecture" Assignments are due for all section at the same time, but "Lab" Assignments are due at different times. The limited time instructors have makes it difficult to assign all of these times manually for every assignment, especially if there are more than just a few. Note: At a glance, this may have been the intended question of a previous suggestion, however it seems it was not interpreted that way. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/Assignments-Automatically-Differentiate-Due-Dates-fo...

Proposed solution:

Allow creation of assignments with a template for due date offsets. Set the "Due date" as the earliest or latest the assignment should be due, and then set each section to have an "offset" from that, eg, "The next Tuesday at 12:30" or "The previous day at same time" - then allow instructors to apply this template to assignments.
