firebase function to auto populate course collection

[elizabeth-tang]

Summary

This pull request is meant to help automatically populate the course collection every semester instead of manually running the script

• Uses a built-in firebase cloud function

Remaining TODOs:

• Change frequency to every semester -- currently runs every 5 minutes for testing purposes

Test Plan

• ad hoc testing -- see if the courses are repopulated every 5 min and logs that it worked to firebase

Just to be clear; this is not currently running every five minutes right?

Yep :)

Can you create a separate directory called functions with its own package.json? You can then install the firebase-functions dependency there. I think adding firebase-functions as a dependency caused another peer dependency to be bumped as well, causing the failing checks.
