    View for viewing and regenerating certificates for users.

    This is used by the support team to re-issue certificates
    to users if something went wrong during the initial certificate generation,
    such as:

    * The user's name was spelled incorrectly.
    * The user later earned a higher grade and wants it on his/her certificate and dashboard.
    * The user accidentally received an honor code certificate because his/her
        verification expired before certs were generated.

    Most of the heavy lifting is performed client-side through API
    calls directly to the certificates app.
