Automatic mode: "do not disturb" instead of "away"
In automatic mode, a player is no longer set "away" but "do not disturb", and is no longer disconnected for inactivity while the server plays their character.

What changes
Automatic mode lets the server play a player's character once the player stops touching anything.
- "Do not disturb" rather than "away": when the game wants to set the player "away" during automatic mode, the server sets "do not disturb" instead, with the message "Automatic mode". This status goes away as soon as the player takes back control or turns automatic mode off.
- No more disconnection for inactivity: after a long absence, the game asks on its own to disconnect the player. The server ignores it as long as it is playing the character and no player action has come in 15 minutes.
Logging out after a long absence
A single action takes back control: moving, casting a spell, using an item. Logging out then works normally. Closing the game always ends the connection.
Each behaviour can be turned off live with a setting.
