quick frontends (app): added an "ignore_missing" argument to RemoveListener: normally an error is logged when removeListener is call on a inexisting listener, but sometimes listeners are added only in specific scenarios, and it may be handy to try to delete them without having to explictly check that they have been used.

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