Log Message:

Auto-deactivate ESN subscriptions for idle users

When processing notifications, deactivate subscriptions that belong to users who have been idle for over a year ($LJ::ESN_INACTIVE_DAYS, default 365). This happens in two places:

LJ::ESN::unique_matching_subs: if a sub requires a paid capability the user no longer has (e.g. thread tracking after paid expired) AND the user is idle, deactivate the sub before it reaches matches_filter.
DW::Task::ESN::ProcessSub: if a user is idle, deactivate the sub after the first skip so it never generates another SQS job.

Deactivated subs set the INACTIVE flag, NOT deleted. The user can still see them on /manage/tracking and reactivate them when they return. LJ::Subscription::create also automatically reactivates matching inactive subs when a user re-subscribes.

The idle threshold is configurable via $LJ::ESN_INACTIVE_DAYS in config-local.pl (documented in the example file). The same variable is used for the existing ProcessSub idle-skip check, replacing a previously hardcoded 365.
