Dodona 5.3 released

[chvp]

It has been a while since our last release so the list of updates is a bit longer than usual. The main new feature is the addition of a new graph type for series. A new heatmap option was added showing when submissions were made for each exercise.

The start and end time can be chosen by the user and the graph automatically picks the right bin size. The time selection and binning was also added to the existing line charts.

In addition to many bug fixes and minor changes, teachers using reading activities can now get an overview of when students completed that activity.
