FE: Provide an admin setting to automate deactivation of dormant users

Description

In GitLab Self-Managed (TODO - is this correct?), if a user did not sign in, or has had any activity in 90 days, the administrator will be granted the option to manually deactivate them (docs about this here).

Manually deactivating dormant users can be cumbersome.

This issue deals with adding an admin setting that if toggled on will have the effect of automatically deactivating the dormant users (users with no log-in or activity for the past 90 days).
