#8048: Profile Activity Ingestion: Move to async processing

 Currently the Profile Activity notifier & Badges granting process work
 interactively with Profiles, which involves a HTTP POST back to ourselves.

 This often runs into performance issues, and when we're suffering any
 database issues compounds the issue.

 We should switch this to an async process - where the payload is just
 added to a queue table which is bulk processed into Profiles.

 This would have the downside that activity won't appear instantly, but
 would also ensure that any activity items aren't missed.
