Contacts List Refactor/Friends List Unification

Build: 3.9

Category: Gameplay

Progress: 82/82 (old 81/83) task completed.

Status: Polishing

We've created a single "Friends/Contacts Service" that both Spectrum AND the DGS can pull from in order to display a player's contacts/friends list. This will allow for things such as "Pending" friend and party invites as well as visibility to whether players are online or not. The Front End UI will be rebuilt in our new Building Block Tech to allow for future expansion of the functionality. Additionally, the main goal is to allow for easier "player to player" connectivity within the SC Universe. By converting this into a unified service, it will also lay the framework to create better lobby functionality in the future for all game modes (with the initial focus being with connecting to other players in the PU).
