jabber: Add a BOSH send timer (queue up stanzas), fixes connecting to Prosody This send timer shouldn't strictly be necessary, but Prosody currently closes the TCP stream after every response (MattJ tells me there's a pipelining bug that they couldn't fix, so they just disabled it), but in my tests, the initial purple_ssl_read doesn't catch the EOF/disconnection (the read returns EAGAIN), so the prpl, while processing the response from the server, thinks that BOSH connection is still open, and tries to send to send to it. *Then*, the write input watcher triggers and read returns 0 (EOF). The request that was sent is then lost. Anyway, I've termed Prosody a fuzzer for BOSH. :-)
