annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 17316:2aff11bb5e72

Several small changes to work towards a working msim_remove_buddy(): (Note: I'm not there yet) Change MsimSession.userid to an integer. Change msim_postprocess_outgoing() to accept a format string in the _uid_field_name field, having "%d" replaced with the userid (instead of adding a new field with the userid). Added so that the "body" field can be postprocessed. Enable msim_remove_buddy() to send the persistance buddy delete message, but it does not yet work. Add msim_new_reply_callback() for setting up a persistance reply callback, instead of having to manually insert into the hash tables. Add msim_msg_get_own_uid{,_cb}() to get our own userid. Rename MG_YOUR_MYSPACE_INFO to MG_OWN_MYSPACE_INFO.
