[Assignments] Show Student Names for Differentiated Assignments

[ezaurova]

Problem statement:

Currently, when students are assigned a different due date, you can only see how many students you have with a different due date, rather than who they are. So rather than seeing "Jane Doe", you'll just see "1 Student" next to the different due date for the assignment.

Proposed solution:

It would be helpful to see who the students are with the different due dates, rather than just the quantity. One example of why this is helpful is that when I get an email from a student asking for an extension, I don't know always know if this is a new request, or just an update to an old one. So when I navigate to the assignment, I then also have to click on "Assign To" to see who the students currently are with extensions. Also, it's just more helpful to see the students' names rather than "1 Student" or "2 Students".

There is already a blog post on this, https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Higher-Ed-Users/Show-student-names-for-Differentiated-Assignments....  @James  has done amazing work and I'm sure his Tampermonkey script has been used by many, including myself, over the years.  It has stopped working, so we need Canvas to make this a permanent feature.

Also, just realized I misspelled assignments in the title, if someone wants to fix that.
