Expire presence so users can't get stuck online (#77)

Presence was a per-user refcount in Redis, decremented only when a
connection's cleanup ran. Anything that ended a connection without
cleanup (a crash, an unclean restart, a laptop asleep with the page
frozen) leaked its count forever, so those users never showed offline.
Production had 19 counts for 2 live connections.

Presence is now one expiring entry per connection (90s TTL) for global,
per-room and focus presence, in new presence:v2:* keys. Clients renew
theirs by sending any frame, which the existing 30s ping/pong already
does. The server closes a human connection that sends nothing for 90s
(code 4408), which catches a frozen page whose browser still answers
transport pings. Bot connections can't be expected to answer pings, so
the server renews theirs itself while the handler is alive.

An expiry has no disconnect event to announce it, so a sweeper on each
worker (one per 15s overall, via a Redis lock) prunes expired entries
and broadcasts the offline transition. The old presence:* hashes are
deleted at startup.

Tests cover the expiry store, the sweeper, and the websocket cases.

"""Cross-instance "who's connected to this room," one expiring set per
room (see ExpiringPresenceSet).
Refcounted rather than a plain set so a user with two connections to the
same room -- two tabs, or one per app instance -- doesn't get marked
offline when only one of those connections closes.
Known limitation: a hard crash (not a clean disconnect) leaks that
connection's increment forever, since there's no heartbeat/TTL here to
reclaim it -- out of scope for this phase, same category of
simplification as the "no server-side session revocation" note in the
README.
This is what the offline-push check reads, so a leaked entry used to mean
a user who'd gone away was still treated as "watching the room" and never
got a push notification (#77). Entries now expire unless the connection
keeps renewing them, so that can't outlive a dead connection by more than
the TTL. Keys are versioned (`v2`) so the old refcount hashes
(`presence:{room_id}`), with whatever they leaked, are never read.
