right sidebar: Include non-displayed users in typeahead.

[rishig]

If someone is gone for three weeks, we remove them from the right sidebar. We should still include them at the bottom of the user search typeahead, though, since it feels like something is broken when you know someone is part of a realm and you can't find them in user search.

Note that we include all such users in the compose box typeahead, so the list is already being sent to the frontend.

@rishig Any idea how do I duplicate the issue, Waiting for three weeks for user to disappear isnt a wise thing to do 😄

[timabbott]

You should be able to replicate locally by temporarily modifying the exclude_old_users function to instead exclude some specific user by ID or email or something.
