core: backend autoconnection: A new Connection/autoconnect_backend param can be set for a profile or component to be started automatically with backend. This is specially useful for components, but can be useful for client profile too (e.g. on Android we need to start profile with backend to get notifications, this part will come with following commits). The new Sqlite.getIndParamValues method allows to retrieve the same parameters for all profiles.

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and a link to the
cached avatar.

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ jp identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. You set the data to change
using ``-f KEY VALUE, --field KEY VALUE``, where ``KEY`` can only be ``nick`` at the
moment.

example
-------

Set the nickname of default profile::

  $ jp identity set -f nick toto
