Implement dummy body message to indicate high priority push This adds a dummy body sent alongside the push when the original message also contained a body to indicate a high priority push. The body can be configured and its contents are generally meaningless with most app servers because it will be stripped before pushed to the client.

40 The config setting `push_notification_important_body` can be used to specify an alternative
41 body text to send to the remote pubsub node if the stanza is encrypted or has a body.
42 This way the real contents of the message aren't revealed to the push appserver but it
43 can still see that the push is important.
44 This is used by Chatsecure on iOS to send out high priority pushes in those cases for example.
