[Building Sakai] Updating question pools for published exams

[Bryan Holladay]

There is a pending solution for this problem contributed by IU:

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-1604

When a test is published, it copies the questions from the question pool
into that test.  That is why updates to the question pool do not effect
published tests.  This jira exposes those copied questions and allows you
to edit them.  The disconnect is still there, so any changes to the
question pool won't effect published tests and any changes to question pool
drawn questions in a published test won't effect the question pool.
