Ability to decay GP for only those in raid (or standby)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The rationale is to decay GP for those that attend instead of everyone.

This needs some more thought:
- should it decay once at a specific time?
- should it trickle over the duration of the raid to avoid unfairness to people 
that are late?

Trickling would be great -- tie to mass awards and the Right Thing just 
basically happens.  It does require knowing how many ticks (even just an 
estimate) there will be over the night, though, to get close to the normal 
decay percentage.  Alternatively, DECAY_P could just be the per-tick decay and 
people could figure it out on their own (rough approximation of OLD_DECAY_P / 
NUM_RECURRING_TICKS but the better formula is 

1 - exp(ln(1-DECAY_P) / NUM_RECURRING_TICKS)

which is the per-tick decau rate.

It doesn't handle bosses though.

You once mentioned using per-minute rates for EP rather than periodic awards?  
Perhaps it could tie into that?

Recurring awards are fixed to give 1 EP per minute. I haven't committed this 
yet but it will be soon.

What about stand-by? How would this work?
