[Canvas Mobile] Course name on course home page

Problem statement:

The course name overlays the course tile image when looking at the course home in the Canvas Student and Canvas Teacher apps. This results in two problems: duplication (course code appears at the top above the course tile image, so the course name and the course code both appear) and accessibility (the course name might not have enough contrast based on what image is used on the course tile. Here is an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t2iKm25-mH3xu12zLVM32iw_tiUze483/

Proposed solution:

I propose removing the course name from the course home page in the Canvas Student and Canvas Teacher apps. (I have the same proposal for the Canvas Parent app, assuming the same issue is there). The benefit to users is it will make the home page on the mobile app easier on the eyes by eliminating any conflict between the course tile image and the course name.
