Support an "expire if inactive" option

Problem/Motivation

For security reasons, we would like to be able to expire roles for inactive users, separate from the "standard" role expiry.

Proposed resolution

Add a field to the "edit role" functionality (where "default duration" already lives) for "Inactive expiry for the role [rolename]". Help text could be something like "Enter a time span you want to set as the duration this role should be preserved from a user's last login, or leave blank to not expire this role due to inactivity." (followed by the same examples as "default duration")

When setting the role expiry when this is set, for the "leave the field blank" option:

  • if there is no default duration, instead of saying "this role will never expire" say something like "the role will only expire if the user is inactive for [period set]"
  • If there is a default duration, add at the end "or if the user is inactive for [period set], whichever comes first"

Remaining tasks

  1. Decide if this is a feature this module wants to take on.
  2. Decide if the proposed implementation is acceptable.
  3. Implement it. :)
