Change how outstanding payments work to avoid confusion
Currently a payment becomes outstanding when the activity starts – so a player who is in but hasn't paid only has that payment become outstanding when the activity starts, rather than straight after saying in.
This approach has some logic (it gives time for the player to pay between saying in and the activity starting) but it has also contributed to a lot of confusion with players not being sure which activity a payment relates to (they assume that if they are paying off an outstanding payment when there is an activity upcoming, then part of that payment relates to the upcoming activity).
We have therefore decided to change the definition of outstanding payments so that payments become outstanding straight away (i.e. as soon as the invite goes out and a player responds in).
Admins sending payment reminders can still choose to omit future activities if they want (for example if they regularly send reminders straight after activities but after the next invite has already gone out).
This change also makes it simpler to build the upcoming wallet.
