jabber: Implement carbons (XEP-0280)

"Message carbons" (XEP-0280) is a server feature to get copies of
outgoing messages sent from other clients connected to the same account.
It's not widely supported by most public XMPP servers (easier if you
host your own), but this will probably change in the next few years.

This is enabled by default if the server supports it. It can also be
disabled with the "carbons" account setting.

Loosely based on a patch by kormat from trac ticket 1021. (Thanks!)
I moved stuff around, simplified things, fixed a few bugs, and used the
new self-messages feature.
