core (xmpp): make `send` a blocking method, fix `sendMessageData` calls: original `send` method is blocking, and it is used as such by Wokkel and thus can't be changed to an async method easily. However, an Async method is necessary to have an async trigger at the very end of the send workflow for end-to-end encryption. To workaround that, `send` is an async method which call `a_send`, an async method which actually does the sending. This way legacy method can still call `send` while `a_send` can be await otherwise. Fix calls to `sendMessageData`: the method now being an `async` one, `ensureDeferred` had to be used in some calls.

=============================
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::

  $ li 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::

  $ li identity set -n toto -n titi
