core (memory/encryption): set encrypted flag also for outgoing messages and put it in extra: - `encrypted` flag is now put directly in extra, so that there is nothing to change when sending the message to bridge for frontends to be aware of it. - this flag is now also set when markAsEncrypted is used, so frontend can display appropriate indicator to show that outgoing message is encrypted or not.

=============================
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
