In a federated system, "@nickname" is insufficient to uniquely
identify a user. However, it's a very convenient idiom. We need to
guess from context who 'nickname' refers to.
Previously, we were using the sender's profile (or what we knew about
them) as the only context. So, we assumed that they'd be mentioning to
someone they followed, or someone who followed them, or someone on
their own server.
Now, we include the notice information for context. We check to see if
the notice is a reply to another notice, and if the author of the
original notice has the nickname 'nickname', then the mention is
probably for them. Alternately, if the original notice mentions someone
with nickname 'nickname', then this notice is probably referring to
_them_.
Doing this kind of context sleuthing means we have to render the
content very late in the notice-saving process.

init_conversation.php script to copy old notice conversations into the conversation table
cache results of webfinger lookups
Parse an hcard for hints, if available
use new hcard method for webfinger
add hkit for hCard parsing
use new dedicated hcard method for Webfinger profile
Add an hcard action
* 'testing' of gitorious.org:statusnet/mainline:
OStatus: if no <link> available and no profileurl hint passed in, use object id if it's an HTTP(S) URL. Fixes profile link for Google accounts.
Tweak common_url_to_nickname to take the last path component; fixes pulling nicks from Google profile pages (path is "/profile/<nickname>")
Fix bug on subscribe/unsubscribe in profile lists. Bogus call to nonexisting profile->getProfile() was masked by DB_DataObject
A dedicated hcard action for users. Our profile page includes
an hcard, but it's so full of other hcards that it's ambiguous which
one is the "real" one. So, this one make sense for meaning, "This is
my hcard."

Not sure how this ended up in wrong-cased dir...
OStatus: fix remote groups to work with new user_groups/local_groups split.
Conflicts:
classes/User_group.php
- fix <activity:subject> generation so we get the profile info (what's available so far)
- use id instead of nickname for group join/leave forms so we can join/leave remote groups
while the rest of the groups UI remains limited to local groups
(plugins are responsible for making sure remote notifications and permission checks are done)
- fix remote notification when joining group through OStatus's remote subscribe form
* 'testing' of gitorious.org:statusnet/mainline:
Merge StatusNet core localization updates from 0.9.x branch
Fix update_po_templates.php to support the plural and context variants of _m() in plugins
Drop HTMLPurifier; we don't need its extra capabilities and we're already using htmLawed which is lighter-weight.
OStatus: handle update-profile Salmon pings
Revert "Updated jQuery Form Plugin from v2.17 to v2.36"
OStatus: disable HTMLPurify cache unless we've configured a writable path for it.
