 User last_activity data is stored in the activity table, but the activity
 API (`bp_activity_add()`) is not used to add the data there. I don't
 recall the exact reasoning; I think it's because we didn't want to trigger
 activity-related filters for 'last_activity' bumping, out of backward-
 compatibilty concerns.

 Because of this, bumping a user's `last_activity` doesn't bust activity
 query caches, and queries that include `last_activity` can be incorrect.
