Description

This has historically been a very common request. We should allow users to filter courses by whether they are "evening" course.

I'm not sure if there is a universally-agreed definition of "evening course", but I think a reasonable implementation could be that for all types of slots (lecture/tutorial/lab/etc.), there must exist at least 1 slot that is beyond 6pm

Feel free to suggest alternative interpretations though!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing course-filter entry point and how lecture, tutorial, and lab slots are represented; first resolve the definition of an evening course, then identify the affected filter behavior and tests. Done means the agreed interpretation is implemented and verified for all slot types.
