Store new submission files.

store_new_submissions copies new files from the subdirectories of submissions_dir to the respective subdirectories of hist_dir. Each team has a subdirectory. The copied files in hist_dir are prefixed with the last modification date for uniqueness. A file is considered new if its name and last modification time is new, i.e not present in hist_dir. The files must match pattern regular expression and must not throw errors or warnings when given to the valid_fun function.
