[Inbox] enable the ability to Inbox Message people across more than one course

[ccaruso1]

Problem statement:

Teachers cannot currently message people in Canvas from more than one class. Teachers have requested the ability to include administrators and counselors in some of their Canvas Messaging to parents and students. The teachers are in other classes with those people, but once they select a class and student to message, if they switch classes then the original student's name disappears. Additionally, they sometimes need to message people in multiple classes, which is cumbersome when you have to do it repeatedly instead of all at once. 

Proposed solution:

Create the ability for teachers in Canvas Inbox Messaging to select people from multiple canvas courses to include on one message.

User role(s):

admin,instructor
