Presence can send both a `Leave` and `Join` event that cancel each other out.

I noticed that sending a Track Event manually whilst already joined to the channel causes both a Join and Leave eventto be raised. However, the Leave event is raised after the join making it appear as though I left when I didn't.

I notice that the Json for the Join Event apparently (with my limited knowledge) contains a reference to the Leave event in the : phx_ref_prev field.

Maybe some internal magic needs to check for this and not raise events when they cancel each other out. Personally, I feel that this should only have raised a Sync event and neither a Join or Leave.

Here is the Json for easier viewing.

I was about to open issue for this. I noticed the same behavior, I need to track user last seen down to 10 secs difference. When use track manually, it triggers leave event also. Lemme know if you found any solutions to this.
