Wishlist: Ability to "like" things

[Nathan Lewis]

Add the ability to for Mahara users to vote things up (and/or down?). In other websites this takes the form of "Likes", "+1's", "Star", etc.

Testing instructions:

Add an activity stream to your profile page.
Perform some actions that generate notifications that can be displayed on an activity stream. For example, change the sharing on a page or adding a comment to a page or artefact. Try performing several different activities on the same base object (such as sharing and commeting on the same page).
Look at your profile page. Click the Like button. Click the Unlike button. See that the numbers change. If two activities are on the same base object then clicking Like on one will update the other as well.
You might want to log in as another user and view your primary user's profile page. There, you can add another Like and see the results (assuming the second user has access to view the activity items).

Totara has asked us not to merge this code into core. So I'm changing this bug report into a more generic placeholder for the idea of adding a "likes" concept to Mahara.
