[JDEV] Resources

[David Waite]

1) be logged in multiple locations at once
2) be available through multiple contact methods (user at server/computer and

resources are also used for things like groupchat, where every resource is
a separate person in a channel.

and many transports use this extra 'data slot' in all sorts of neat ways :)
