Add an option for the Optimizer to place classes into rooms where there is a blackout or the space is "closed".

This became a huge issue recently when the Optimizer was trying to place courses over our COVID-19 campus-wide blackouts. We'll now need to lift blackouts and choose one of the following options: place date constraints, adjust AP, add date buffers, or revoke "create an event" rights. The spaces will visually appear open in our system, leading to a lot of confusion for those who are currently very eager to book post-COVID events.
