Jetpack Sync: Add 'is_connected' property to synced users

[fgiannar]

This PR adds a new user property: is_connected to the user data we sync. This will be true if the user has connected their WPCOM account, false otherwise.
Having this info on WPCOM will allow us to fix a checksum inconsistency when calculating usermeta checksums on both ends plus potentially introduce automated connection error healing triggers when a user is connected on WPCOM but their token is missing from the remote site and vice-versa.

Full Context: SYNC-17

Proposed changes:

• Automattic\Jetpack\Sync\Modules\Users: Update expand_user with an additional user property: is_connected. This will be true if the user has connected their WPCOM account, false otherwise.

• Have you written new tests for your changes, if applicable?
• Have you checked the E2E test CI results, and verified that your changes do not break them?
• Have you tested your changes on WordPress.com, if applicable (if so, you'll see a generated comment below with a script to run)?
