mod_csi_simple: Don't consider presence errors as important A large share of `<presence type=error>` appears to be noise from large public channels and failed presence probes. The later at least should count as presence updates, which are currently considered unimportant. See also 8cecb85e4bc4 which is partly reverted here. The intent there was probably mostly about message (delivery) errors, which should be considered important.
