"Out of office" indicator

Problem

Right now a lot of people use our "status" feature to highlight that they will be on vacation. This is problematic for multiple reasons:

  1. The status text is only visible on hover, making it tough to discover. Both status and status text are also already included in the user popover:

  1. It's not showing up in the right context. I can only see that status when the other person has already responded or taken some action in the MR/issue where I want to mention them. In cases where they haven't yet appeared on the MR/Issue, I would never notice it, as all places where I can ping/assign them don't include the status:

  1. Each team has to find some definition for what icons count as "Out of office", and also has to restrict their team members from using these icons for other aspecte. E.g. our reviewer roulette has a set of emojis that are used for whether a person is available.

Proposal

Expand the "Busy" indicator by adding an "Out of office" indicator.

This will allow us to not "hack" the status feature, but instead make this an intentional feature that we can then also expand on, e.g. for suggested reviewers.
