[Assignments] Give exports a name besides "submissions"

Problem statement:

When instructors download student submissions for an assignment to grade and annotate offline, the resulting export is a zip file simply named "submissions." For faculty grading many such assignments in different courses, or many assignments even in the same course, they wind up with multiple zip files with the same name (with a simple ordinal suffix for each one). This leads to a lot of confusion after markups and grading, particularly when assignments are anonymous.

Proposed solution:

If assignment submission download files could simply contain a useful title such as {courseID} - [assignment title], that would be very, very helpful in differentiating multiple submission downloads to reupload back into Canvas.

User role(s):

instructor, TA, graders
