feature/updateCoursesUsingAPI

[haram082]

Context: We don't know have a way to check for current courses and add new coures/professors as needed per each new semester.

Solution: Added a new script to synchronize courses from the Pomona API with our MongoDB database, adding/updating course details.

• Fetches all course department/requirement using api/CourseAreas endpoints
• Fetches courses from all department/requirement areas via /api/Courses/{term}/{area}
• Add new courses based on department (ex CSCI) or requirement (ex 4WRT)
• Appends other existing requirements and departments as needed
• Add current term key in term_keys to indicate this is a current course

To recreate, you will need an appropriate Course API key from ITS and then run
npx ts-node src/services/updateCourses.ts --term "2025;SP"

NOTE: This script does not add instructor ids yet as we want to link them to their Cxid instead.
