These engagement data will be useful both for making pretty graphs of
how addicted our users are as well as for allowing us to check whether
a new deployment is actually using the product or not.
This measures "number of minutes during which each user had checked
the app within the previous 15 minutes". It should correctly not
count server-initiated reloads.
It's possible that we should use something less aggressive than
mousemove; I'm a little torn on that because you really can check the
app for new messages without doing anything active.
This is somewhat tested but there are a few outstanding issues:
* Mobile apps don't report these data. It should be as easy as having
them send in update_active_status queries with new_user_input=true.
* The semantics of this should be better documented (e.g. the
management script should print out the spec above)x.

The new version is more accurate (doesn't rely on UserMessage IDs
being sorted, which they aren't necessarily) and simpler.
