core, frontends: avatar refactoring:
/!\ huge commit
Avatar logic has been reworked around the IDENTITY plugin: plugins able to handle avatar
or other identity related metadata (like nicknames) register to IDENTITY plugin in the
same way as for other features like download/upload. Once registered, IDENTITY plugin will
call them when suitable in order of priority, and handle caching.
Methods to manage those metadata from frontend now use serialised data.
For now `avatar` and `nicknames` are handled:
- `avatar` is now a dict with `path` + metadata like `media_type`, instead of just a string
path
- `nicknames` is now a list of nicknames in order of priority. This list is never empty,
and `nicknames[0]` should be the preferred nickname to use by frontends in most cases.
In addition to contact specified nicknames, user set nickname (the one set in roster) is
used in priority when available.
Among the side changes done with this commit, there are:
- a new `contactGet` bridge method to get roster metadata for a single contact
- SatPresenceProtocol.send returns a Deferred to check when it has actually been sent
- memory's methods to handle entities data now use `client` as first argument
- metadata filter can be specified with `getIdentity`
- `getAvatar` and `setAvatar` are now part of the IDENTITY plugin instead of XEP-0054 (and
there signature has changed)
- `isRoom` and `getBareOrFull` are now part of XEP-0045 plugin
- jp avatar/get command uses `xdg-open` first when available for `--show` flag
- `--no-cache` has been added to jp avatar/get and identity/get
- jp identity/set has been simplified, explicit options (`--nickname` only for now) are
used instead of `--field`. `--field` may come back in the future if necessary for extra
data.
- QuickContactList `SetContact` now handle None as a value, and doesn't use it to delete the
metadata anymore
- improved cache handling for `metadata` and `nicknames` in quick frontend
- new `default` argument in QuickContactList `getCache`

============================= 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 data about the avatar. When available, cached values are returned by defaut. If you want to ignore the cache, use the ``--no-cache`` option (of course this can result in more network requests). example -------- Get identity information about an entity:: $ jp identity get somebody@example.org set === Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. So far, you can only change the nickname of an entity using ``-n, --nick`` or or more times example ------- Set 2 nicknames for default profile:: $ jp identity set -n toto -n titi
