Add support for cops member specific user profiles.

[m-e-l-u-h-a-n]

COPS members will have a special profiles. So probably for now this can be done by a simple is_cops_member(boolean field) and cops_group(character field with choices as 1. SDG 2. CPG 3. IG 4. INFOSEC). Any adminstrative powers if required can be added later on based on discussion.

Hey @Vanshika-kejriwal as far as I am aware for now your tasks should be:

• add new fields as provided in the OP
• make new migrations
• commit changes and make a PR

If there are any updates on how we want to handle this issue it will be informed to you by @shubhanshu02 or @m-e-l-u-h-a-n

Regarding group names there has been a change we should have choices for roles as:

• Software Development Group SDG
• Competitive Programming Group CPG
• Intelligence Group IG
• InfoSec Group ISG

Hi @Vanshika-kejriwal! Great to see your interest in this issue. As @king-11 already mentioned the tasks, here are some more details about the fields.

The boolean field is_cops_member has a default value False and cops_group is a character field which we can fill from the given four choices similar to the linked code snippet below. If we make this field nullable, then cops_group will be set null/None for the case when the user is not a COPS member. Else we'll need to add another choice, 'None', to the given options. I guess the prior one will be better.

	class User(AbstractUser):
	with open('authentication/college_list.json') as f:
	college_json = json.load(f)
	COLLEGE_NAMES = [(college["name"], college["name"]) for college in college_json]
	college = models.CharField(choices=COLLEGE_NAMES, max_length=255)
	uid = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=64)

If you have some ideas to add or face any problems, feel free to discuss them here.

@king-11 @m-e-l-u-h-a-n any suggestions/corrections?
