Request a problem to be rescored as a background task.
The problem will be rescored for the specified student only. Parameters are the `course_id`,
the `problem_url`, and the `student` as a User object.
The url must specify the location of the problem, using i4x-type notation.
ItemNotFoundException is raised if the problem doesn't exist, or AlreadyRunningError
if the problem is already being rescored for this student, or NotImplementedError if
the problem doesn't support rescoring.
This method makes sure the InstructorTask entry is committed.

will cause any pending transaction to be committed by a successful
save here. Any future database operations will take place in a
