      Simplify Online/Offline setting to "On"/"Off" without Online/Offline distinction. It would imply losing some freedom but it increases the usability a lot by reducing the number of switches to set and solve the following big problem:

      The LMS uses 5 minutes time check to know if someone is online or offline. If the user goes away (without closing session) and a notification is send on the next 5 minutes it cannot be received if only offline is selected.

      Also Change ON/OFF on notifications preferences by modern switches.

       

      The migration of the data has some taken decisions:

      1. To avoid loose of data on notifications: If Online or Offline has been set to On then it will be kept as On. If both are Off, then it will be kept as Off.
      2. On default notification preferences: Permitted / Disallowed / Forced have been removed and now we have two switches: Locked and Enabled, with the combination of both we can have the same behaviour as before, with reduced number of clicks.
      3. On db/messages.php file now, We've deprecated constants  MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDIN and MESSAGE_DEFAULT_LOGGEDOFF in favour of MESSAGE_DEFAULT_ENABLED. However they will maintain same functionality as in point 1 (if any is provided, then it's enabled.
      4. Also regarding to db/messages configuration file: MESSAGE_PERMITTED / MESSAGE_DISALLOWED and MESSAGE_FORCED have been maintained to allow backwards compatibility.
