[Standards] mobile optimizations

[Joe Hildebrand]

Could this be added to XEP-198?  Basically a pause command that would  
cause stuff to get buffered on the server.  There would need to be an  
ack that comes back to avoid races.  Additionally, I could imagine the  
thing doing the buffering could toss old stale presence stanzas when  
new ones are received from the same full jid.

Combined with XEP-198 quick-reconnects (or BOSH) with long server-side  
timeouts, and it seems pretty efficient for this use case, at the  
expense of some DEFLATE performance.
