usePresenceUpdater sent a one-off PUT /presence. Meanwhile the SDK kept long-polling /sync with the default set_presence=online, and Synapse treats every sync as "online". So Invisible, Hide Online Status, Idle and DND flipped back to online within seconds: a privacy setting that silently didn't work.
Change: the presence helpers also call mx.setSyncPresence(), the way Element keeps a manual state:
offline for Invisible and Hide Online Status;
unavailable for Idle and DND (and for auto-mode idle or a hidden tab);
online otherwise.
The PUT stays for the immediate change.

Fixes #282.
`usePresenceUpdater` sent a one-off `PUT /presence`. Meanwhile the SDK kept long-polling `/sync` with the default `set_presence=online`, and Synapse treats every sync as "online". So **Invisible**, **Hide Online Status**, **Idle** and **DND** flipped back to online within seconds: a privacy setting that silently didn't work.
**Change:** the presence helpers also call `mx.setSyncPresence()`, the way Element keeps a manual state:
- `offline` for Invisible and Hide Online Status;
- `unavailable` for Idle and DND (and for auto-mode idle or a hidden tab);
- `online` otherwise.
The PUT stays for the immediate change.

usePresenceUpdater sent a one-off PUT /presence, but the SDK kept
long-polling /sync with the default set_presence=online and Synapse treats
every sync as "online", so Invisible / Hide Online Status / Idle / DND
flipped back within seconds — a privacy setting that silently didn't work.
The presence helpers now also call mx.setSyncPresence(): offline for
Invisible / Hide Online Status, unavailable for Idle / DND (and auto-mode
idle / hidden tab), online otherwise. The PUT stays for the immediate
change.
Verified on the local Synapse, another account polling every 5 s for 60 s
after a reload in each mode: invisible → offline ×12, hidePresence →
offline ×12, idle → unavailable ×12, dnd → unavailable ×12, online →
online (currently_active) ×12; /sync carries set_presence=offline /
unavailable / online accordingly (before: online* throughout).
