[Feature request] Ability to add additional statuses

[msoupcoff]

Original / Description: https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-43949

Only five default status values can be used. Instructors may want to create additional statuses based on their course needs.

Ex: - Student is present but not engaged. Instructor wants to split/ have two "Present" values (Present & engaged, Present & not participating). Each would have their own grading breakdown on Grading > Rules section.

Attached example UI of another open-source LMS (that shall go unnamed) as reference of how they have built it. Underneath current status values is a blank row where instructor may enter an acronym letter and description title. Selecting Add button to right adds value and then a new blank row is created underneath it in case more values are desired.

For UI/UX purposes, may be worth having some limitations. These are some I just came up with and don't have any data to back up why they would be good restrictions; ie just my thoughts/opinion.

Restrict to 10 values total. There will be some instructors that want more but anymore could create a chaotic UI
Character limit to titles. Long title names could cause spacing issues in UI. Would relate to SAK-43948.

Roger Williams University looks forward to this feature request being added to the Attendance tool. The additional status would be beneficial because faculty could then distinguish between synchronous on-line students and in-person students with, for example, an On-Line Attendance option.
