plugin upload, XEP-0363: code modernisation + preparation for extension: - use of async/await syntax - fileUpload's options are now serialised, allowing non string values - (XEP-0363) Slot is now a dataclass, so it can be modified by other plugins - (XEP-0363) Moved SSL related code to the new tools.web module - (XEP-0363) added `XEP-0363_upload_size` and `XEP-0363_upload` trigger points - a Deferred is not used anymore for `progress_id`, the value is directly returned

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