[Modules] Module prerequisites and unpublished module items

Problem statement:

When a module has an unpublished item such as a page, sometimes students cannot progress past that module even when they have completed all the published items (view pages, etc.). In a class of 30, this happened to at least 3 students I am aware of. So at least 10%. It also happened to other instructors. This issue creates confusion and delay. The excellent support reps suggested I create an idea here. ( Canvas Support Case #08962392 )

Proposed solution:

Exclude unpublished module items from being part of the requirement/ perquisite. Perhaps bundle this request in with this prior idea: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Prerequisites-or-requirements-for-individual-i...
