#7956: Shared activity disappears from both machines' views when receiving machine
crashes

Two machines: receiving machine: joyride-2263, G1G1 MP
sending machine: update.1-690, B4 prototype
Simple Mesh scenario, no school server.
Both machines are on Mesh channel 1. Same setup as #7955.
I started Chat on sending machine. I used its menu to set it to "Share
with: My Neighborhood". On the receiving machine, I saw the Chat in the
Neighborhood screen, and started it, and was chatting along fine. Then
the battery ran out on the receiving machine. It crashed. The sending
machine noticed the crash and reported that the receiving machine "left
the chat".
When I brought the receiving machine back up, and put it back on Mesh
channel 1, it couldn't see the Chat that the other machine still claims to
be offering to the neighborhood. The Chat does not appear in the
Neighborhood screen, nor in the Group screen, on either machine any more!
But the menu at the top of the Chat Activity still says that it's shared
with My Neighborhood.
Fix: Either the shared chat ought to still appear in both machines'
network and group views (preferred). Or, if the UI designer decides that
when all but one participant of a shared Chat disappears, it should go
back to being unshared, then the "Share With: My Neighborhood" ought to
change back to "Private".
