    Description

      The new tool_generator course generator creates the generated activities in random sections and selects random users to add forum discussions and posts. If we are going to use this courses to run performance tests we need the same dataset (depending on the size of course)

      We can add a new --fixeddataset argument and refactor get_random_section and get_random_user. There is no need to change the get_random_binary as it is only data with a fixed size.
