[sugar] [PATCH] services/presence/: identify Buddies by "key ID" (pubkey hash), not whole key.

I thought I should send this one in for dcbw's approval, since it's a
behaviour change...

"""
services/presence/: identify Buddies by "key ID" (pubkey hash), not whole key.

This allows us to create Buddy objects as soon as we see a contact on the
server. For contacts not on trusted servers, or seen in anonymous MUCs, we
create a Buddy identified by JID instead (so we have some way to talk
about the anonymous contact within the Sugar API).

The concept of "trusted server" means a server which we trust to validate that
users with a keyID as the username part of their JID do in fact have that key.
Currently we just pretend that olpc.collabora.co.uk does this - in future, the
school servers will do this validation by using key rather than password
authentication.

Also create Buddy object paths based on the keyID or JID (for easier debugging).
"""

This will allow me to improve the Sugar-visible API by mapping from
Buddies to handles (and back) in a synchronous way, so we can track
buddies entering and leaving activities in a sane way, for instance. Also, we
can interoperate with non-OLPC servers correctly (with a Buddy object
present even for non-OLPC users).

I'm assuming here that the key-ID is "sufficiently unique" across all
trusted servers. It's a SHA-1 of the public key, so basically the
same strength as GnuPG key fingerprints and git object hashes.
(Actually, for hysterical raisins, it's a SHA-1 of Base64(public_key) -
we should probably change this before we ship.)

The actual function used for the key-ID can be changed (if it
is, old and new versions of Sugar will be incompatible, but that's not
really a problem yet) so if any crypto gurus want to specify something
different, now would be a really good time. As currently implemented, its
output must be short enough to put in the JID (for which a hex SHA-1 is
somewhat long already).
