Builds on #2550, and 47f2819#diff-cdc8b736dce9a3bd0db85d690b10d9e1 before.

Who is this PR for?

Somerville educators, internal team

What problem does this PR fix?

Somerville section assignment exports are now scoped by the district_school_year, which means there's now enough information to avoid collisions on primary keys across school years. Things like course_number and section_number were recycled but with different values across semesters or years, and because of how the import processes for these worked historically (years back), this meant there were different variants of old orphaned records in the Section table.

Ideally, we'd be able to help educators look at information like student section enrollment and grades over time. To do this for grades specifically, it means that Section records need to have stable identities over time. The snapshots to HistoricalGrade records does this in a limited way, but we haven't looked at this yet.

What does this PR do?

This PR updates the importers processing a) course and sections, b) student section assignments, c) educator section assignments, and d) section grades, and their related tests. These all now expect district_school_year to be set explicitly, and scope the match process in the import to only look within that school year.

The result is that running these in order should create a new set of Section records, explicitly scoped to a school year. And older Section records would stay in the database,
