[midPoint] Archived user

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

The "archived" status was meant to mean a user that is no longer active 
and it is unlikely that it will be active again. E.g. users that left 
the company, retired users, etc. The motivation is that there are 
systems, where you cannot really delete an account without corrupting 
data integrity, destroying audit trails, etc. The accounts must remain 
there forever. So the corresponding users should also be in midPoint 
forever to avoid problems with identifier allocation, correlation, etc. 
Archived user state was meant for this purpose. The original idea was 
that archived users will not be shown in any lists unless they are 
explicitly requested, so even if they are there they should not 
interfere with normal identity administration.

However, the implementation is not finished. Currently the archived 
status should effectively mean the same thing as disabled user. But 
beware. Even this functionality is only very lightly tested.
