Better Blackboard

This extension makes some minor modifications to the University of Manchester Blackboard homepage to make it more usable:

• Replace the 'welcome' image with a list of upcoming deadlines, and submission links
• Hide previous semester course units from the "Current courses" tab

This extension & parts of the readme are based on the web-extension-starter repository.
