[Import/Export] Warning for Copy All Content with Late Policy

Problem statement:

If you Copy All Content or Import All Content into a course in a new semester, the course copy also copies the settings which include your Grading Policy. In the copy from course, if you have set your Late Policy to apply a grade for missing submissions, and you don't move the dates forward to the new semester, all your enrolled students will be awarded a zero for their assignments. Please post this warning on the copy screen. What faculty can do to prevent a mess in their gradebook is: 1) Remove or bring forward the dates from the "Adjust events and due dates" option on the copy screen, or 2) Check your previous course to make sure there isn’t a Missing Submission Policy. If your previous course has a late policy, you’ll need to turn it OFF by unclicking "Automatically apply grade for missing submissions" before you make the copy

Proposed solution:

Post a warning on the copy and import screens if the copy-from course has a late policy set.
