[JDEV] Invisibility and transports

[Julian Missig]

Sorry, I completely forgot about the stuff I added to Gabber for
invisibility for transports. Since it's type=invisible, the jabber
server doesn't rebroadcast it to users on your roster, including
transports. So the client needs to send type=invisible directly to
transports if it wants the transports to make the user appear invisible
on other networks as well.

Still, most transports will either understand invisibility or interpret
it as offline.
