Set initial user presences in O(n), not O(n²) time

Previous code iteratively called set_user_status() once for each user;
which in turn was rerendering the user sidebar, also once for each user.

I changed the API a bit by replacing activity.set_user_status() with
activity.set_user_statuses(), plural, that takes an object and updates
all the user statuses in one go before rendering.
