Change user request form to include joining reason #4188

Feature Summary

Current modal for requesting access to join Texera does not collect information from users before they get admitted to the system. We want to implement a new modal/form to collect new user's affiliation and reason of joining Texera to let admin users have a better overview of users. With this form, it will be easier for admin users to decide whether to grant access to a user or not.

Proposed Solution or Design

The current affiliation request modal and request access form will be removed. Add a new request access form that is triggered when a user logins to the system for the first time. As we will add a new column to the user table, this column can be used to determine if the user has requested access before or not.

• If the column is not null and the user is "INACTIVE", then it means the user has request access and it has not been approved. The user will see a message informing them to wait until an admin user approves access.
