RequestUserInformation() public static method

requests information about a user - persona name & avatar

if bRequireNameOnly is set, then the avatar of a user isn't downloaded

- it's a lot slower to download avatars and churns the local cache, so if you don't need avatars, don't request them

if returns true, it means that data is being requested, and a PersonaStateChanged_t callback will be posted when it's retrieved

if returns false, it means that we already have all the details about that user, and functions can be called immediately
