When using the formgrader with JupyterHub, you can specify the path to the autograded notebook files. However, this only really allows one grader to be able to access these notebooks. What would be nice is if any grader could access the notebook files.
This PR makes it possible by allowing any grader to access the notebook server of a specified "formgrader user". This requires that admin access be enabled in JupyterHub, and that the user whose token the formgrader is using is an admin user. Ideally, the "formgrader user" would not be an admin user, and should probably not even be a real account -- it should be a user specifically created for running nbgrader.
