Suggestion: download user files about canvas-student-data-export

[Cyberes]

I also made sure files embedded in HTML were downloaded as well. For example, a module post page might have attached files.

Find them: https://github.com/Cyberes/canvas-student-data-export/blob/master/module/api/file.py
Fetch them: https://github.com/Cyberes/canvas-student-data-export/blob/master/module/get_canvas.py#L30
And download them: https://github.com/Cyberes/canvas-student-data-export/blob/master/module/threading.py#L32C12-L33C58

@Cyberes nicely done! Do you know if your code downloads files that this tool currently does not download? I thought that maybe the files listed under User Files are a collection of files from every course the user is enrolled in. So maybe the tool currently downloads all of the same files, but just organized in a different way. I no longer have access to Canvas so I can't confirm this, but maybe you can. Thanks!

User files contain every file that a user has ever submitted, even for classes that can't be accessed anymore. Also holds misc. files from tools and whatever.

Very cool. This would be a nice feature to add. While it might result in a lot of duplicate data, it would ensure that no files are missed. Perhaps it could be added as an optional task to run based on a configuration parameter.
