Start on adding ProjectSurvey and GradingProjectSurvey. New classes still need to be made for logic and views so the appropriate methods can be overwritten. Reviewed by: Lennard de Rijk

    A Follower is a generic model which indicates that a User is following
    some other Linkable entity in the application.

    Scope and scope_path should be set to the entity being followed.
    The link_id should be used to indicate which user is following.

    If more functionality is needed like for instance when following 
    either a public or private review for Student Proposals this model
    should be extended. As to make it possible to create different types
    of following.
