Improvements

Added support for handling outages of the tax handling service in GoReact.

Names of people that a video has already been shared with will now be displayed on the Share Video dialog, so that users can check to see if they have already shared the video with that person.
Users reviewing the transcript will now have more control over the autoscroll feature in the transcript, so that if the user reads ahead or behind in the transcript, it won't jump around as the video is playing.
Comment-only activities will now display feedback instructions in the activity instructions view that students have access to.
Improved the wording of an error message when the user tries to share a library item that they don't have permission to share.
