Sets the 'active' flag on a user profile. If set to false, the user account is
|
|
|
considered deactivated or hidden.

- If 'hide' is true, then we just try hide the user rather than deactivate it.

- clearing the profile from the HS DB.

Note that unlike set_displayname and set_avatar_url, this does *not* perform
|
|
|
authorization checks! This is because the only place it's used currently is
|
|
|
in account deactivation where we've already done these checks anyway.
