remove xmpp support
I've long considered the XMPP support in git-annex a wart.
It's nice to remove it.

(This also removes the NetMessager, which was only used for XMPP, and the
daemonstatus's desynced list (likewise).)

Existing XMPP remotes should be ignored by git-annex.

The git-annex assistant creates a synchronised folder on each of your
OSX and Linux computers, Android devices, removable drives, NAS appliances,
and cloud services. The contents of the folder are the same everywhere.
It's very easy to use, and has all the power of git and git-annex.
## installation
The git-annex assistant comes as part of git-annex.
See [[install]] to get it installed.
See the [[release_notes]] for an overview of the status, and upgrade
instructions.
