[reSIProcate] architecture of telepahy-resiprocate text messages

[slgodin at gmail.com]

The APIs exposed to users should be in the ConversaManager.  Ideally we would want to have the ability to create an instant messaging conversation type that can contain 2 or more participants.  Perhaps the first version would only support 2 participants.  Someday this could support MSRP.

Lower level implementation will be required in the UserAgent class and perhaps some other new classes.  See dum/test/basicMessage for an example of how to use client and server pager message classes of DUM.
