When a translator signs up, we need to store the time when the user signed up in order to later use that value to determine if the user is active.
This is important to avoid the scenario where a translator signs up again after being unsubscribed, and the maintenance script unsubscribes them again.
For existing translators this will be empty. For them we can just check for other activity to determine whether the user is active or not.

I've tested this functionality on Meta. I see the new translationnotifications-lastactivity option saved in the user options.
