Summary:                    [branch] Add support for distributing device state
and MWI via XMPP PubSub
Description: 
Distributing device state in this way opens up the possibility of having
geographically distributed clusters, as well as having integration with
XMPP clients and other components that are PubSub-aware.

At this point, the easiest way by far is to temporarily shut down the
existing hosts, delete the PubSub nodes, and bring it back up with the new
member system in place.

You *could* manually make the necessary changes, but depending on the
number of mailboxes and/or devices that might well take a very long time
and would unquestionably be tedious.  It's the very kind of repetition for
which computers are uniquely suited. :)

Even deleting the nodes if you're using XEP-0060 mode rather than XEP-0248
would take a while on a large system if you use the built-in commands.  If
you're storing your PubSub nodes in a database then a
not-particularly-clever DELETE FROM will solve all that ails you in that
regard.

Unfortunately, I don't have any spare cycles at the moment to make this
happen.  So it might need to wait if it's a "must have".

I don't think that it is, personally, but I also use XEP-0248 mode
exclusively and don't regularly add new hosts.  So I'm probably a little
biased.

The code to do it wouldn't be even remotely invasive, so if the policy for
1.8 and features is even a little relaxed then adding the necessary
commands in a 1.8.x is certainly an option.
