#6879: prpl-jabber happily sends characters which are invalid in XML

 A lot of the low-code-point characters, such as 0x1, are invalid in XML.
 If you try to send a message (or set a status) including such a character,
 prpl-jabber will happily send it across the wire, and a conforming jabber
 server will kick you off:

 {{{(17:48:31) jabber: Sending (ssl): <presence
 to='devel at conference.pidgin.im/wjt'><status>&#x1;</status><priority>1</priority><c
 xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/caps' node='http://pidgin.im/caps'
 ver='2.5.0' ext='mood moodn nick nickn tune tunen avatarmeta avatardata
 avatar'/><x xmlns='vcard-
 temp:x:update'><photo>62fee823c556eeeaf210cffec2c92d7592c02cb9</photo></x></presence>

 (17:48:31) jabber: Recv (ssl)(111): <stream:error><xml-not-well-formed
 xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-
 streams'/></stream:error></stream:stream>}}}

 Meanwhile, you'll get warnings from Gtk:

 {{{(17:48:31) Gtk: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing
 markup: Error on line 1: Character reference '1' does not encode a
 permitted character}}}

 You might do this by accident, if you're copy-pasting some perfectly valid
 UTF-8 into an IM window.  Accidentally putting a silly unicode character
 into your status (or worse, your user tune!) would make it hard to figure
 out why your jabber account keeps being kicked off whenever you reconnect.

 We should probably strip these out.
