This adds a new connector which integrates with the User Switching plugin.

Stream works fine with User Switching (see #501), but it's a little sub-optimal. When you switch user, two entries get logged, one for the logout action and one for the login action.

This connector uses the actions that the User Switching plugin fires to more accurately log the actions performed (eg. Switched user to editor (Editor)), and also unhooks the default Users connector actions so the logout and login actions aren't logged. The connector also logs its actions under the Users context rather than its own.

New actions that are introduced:

I've had to make two small changes Stream's Connector and Connectors classes in addition to adding the new connector. Currently, it's impossible to unhook a connector's actions due to the anonymous instance of each connector which gets instantiated inside itself. There's no need for this, so I've switched to using $this.

In addition, I've added $this as a parameter to the wp_stream_after_connectors_registration action so a connector can use it to unhook actions attached to any of its connectors. This is necessary because the connectors property on the global $wp_stream object hasn't been populated at this point.
