Models for Student Identity Verification

class PhotoVerificationAttempt(StatusModel):
    """
    Each PhotoVerificationAttempt represents a Student's attempt to establish
    their identity by uploading a photo of themselves and a picture ID. An
    attempt actually has a number of fields that need to be filled out at
    different steps of the approval process. While it's useful as a Django Model
    for the querying facilities, **you should only create and edit a 
    `PhotoVerificationAttempt` object through the methods provided**. Do not
    just construct one and start setting fields unless you really know what
    you're doing.

    We track this attempt through various states:

    `created`
        Initial creation and state we're in after uploading the images.
    `ready`
        The user has uploaded their images and checked that they can read the
        images. There's a separate state here because it may be the case that we
        don't actually submit this attempt for review until payment is made.
    `submitted`
        Submitted for review. The review may be done by a staff member or an
        external service. The user cannot make changes once in this state.
    `approved`
        An admin or an external service has confirmed that the user's photo and
        photo ID match up, and that the photo ID's name matches the user's.
    `denied`
        The request has been denied. See `error_msg` for details on why. An
        admin might later override this and change to `approved`, but the 
        student cannot re-open this attempt -- they have to create another
        attempt and submit it instead.

    Because this Model inherits from StatusModel, we can also do things like::
      
        attempt.status == PhotoVerificationAttempt.STATUS.created
        attempt.status == "created"
        pending_requests = PhotoVerificationAttempt.submitted.all()
