FOCUS-34384- State Performance Reports not calculating gain properly

Currently, when determining the gain, Focus was only looking at the buckets for the student's current grade level rather than comparing the buckets for the grade levels for the current and the previous scores. This branch improves the logic by comparing the appropriate ranges and subranges.

FOCUS-34282- Formbuilder student header may expand into form content with long values

On Forms that use the default Student Header 2, when displaying long values in the student header it may cause the columns to widen, causing other columns to be shrunk and take up more vertical space. This can cause the header to overlap with some forms' content. Columns in the header should have widths limited.

FOCUS-34167- 'Class minutes weekly' not updating correctly when adding a 'Pull Out' section in a future SYEAR

The current functionality, when using inclusion, should subtract the class minutes assigned to the pull-out section from the main section's class minutes, and those minutes subtracted from the main section should be re-added if the pull-out section is removed from the students schedule. This functionality was not working in future school years because the update query checks if the START_DATE of the schedule record is < the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. This branch corrects this issue.

A dropdown is added to allow the form to be identified as a user or student form when the form is created in the form builder. The branch allows a collection to be used for the preset student pulldown, so a query could be used to set the requester_id as the student_id where a school staff member is creating a form on behalf of a student that needs to be auto-imaged. As well as using the added collection query to append the student id to the dropdown to assist where there are multiple students with the same name as the student dropdown is currently named only.
