updated user/device metadata to Elasticsearch.

Fetching and shipping updates occurs in one of two processes: **full
synchronizations** and *incremental updates*. Full synchronizations will send the
entire list of users in state, along with write markers to indicate the start
and end of the synchronization event. Incremental updates will only send data
for changed users during that event. Changes on a user can come in many forms,
whether it be a change to the user's metadata, or a user was added or deleted.
