Description

Implement infrastructure so parts of the application can ask if a list of users are online, idle, or away.

T6868#98450 has some discussion. It's not yet clear whether we should store this in Aphlict or the database.

We can store the information in the database, and have the JX.Leader make an Ajax request every few minutes.
We can store the information on the Aphlict server, and update it when Websockets connect and disconnect.

I basically plan to hold this indefinitely until:
