#3982: Fix: Autoaccept plugin saves files to subdirectories based on resource

------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 When a file is received by the auto-accept plugin, it is saved to a
 directory based on the sender's ID. If the protocol used is XMPP, the
 sender's ID (as represented in xfer->who) is of the form
 "user at server/resource", which causes received files to be saved in
 subdirectories based on the resource name. I doubt this is intended or
 preferable behaviour.

 From a user perspective, it really doesn't matter which resource the file
 was sent from. It also gets messy when the sender is on GTalk, because
 GTalk adds a (random?) suffix to the user's resource, and that suffix
 changes every time the user logs in. The result is a mess of lots of
 subdirectories all named "Home57A042B5" and such.

 I'm attaching a (slightly hackish) patch that I think solves this issue.
