[Standards-JIG] proto-JEP: File Transfer Preview

[JD Conley]

You could quickly do a behind-the-scenes IBB File Transfer for the
preview, which, without user interaction, will usually take
milliseconds, and would ensure stanza sizes are kept small.

I don't like fixed pixel limits either. Leave that up to
implementations.

True, but it takes several moments to a minute to setup that
bytestream.  If a preview is sent quickly it would greatly enhance the
user experience.

Also wrt the "MUST not exceed 64x64" thing, didn't we go over this on
avatars?  Stale pixel limits suck.
