Check in a version of jabber_id_new() that is hopefully more efficient. I think it's less efficient than the version I originally sent to the devel list and accidentally checked in a day or three ago. But it's also correct, and passes all our unit tests. I think it can be optimized a little further by filling in characters in the default case of the switch statement (see "implement_me") and remove the #if 0 lines. It's ok if the "implement_me" checks don't list every valid character-- the worst that happens is the check falls through to our nodeprep and resource prep.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
