Proctoring Technical Debt

[feanil]

The current proctoring implementation in edx-platform is complex and difficult to test. We don't have good ways of verifying if it is broken until it is out in production. Work was done previously to port a lot of this complexity to a different IDA and use LTI within the edx-platform to simplify how edx-platform operates with proctoring. However, this work stalled out due to lack of resources. I'm capturing the available information about this work here in-case we either want to pick it up in the future or otherwise want to make changes in this space.
