Comment:

 (In [b7875f81b48bb1a776ac4b2473cc7376cb35b0f9]) Add support for offline
 messages for AIM, thanks to some info from
 Matthew Goldstein.  The new protocol bits used for offline messaging
 for AIM are very nice.  It fits in with the rest of the oscar protocol
 very well (the old, ICQ-style offline messages were a bit of a hack).
 The offline messages arrive in the same way as every other message
 (except that they have a timestamp), so we can use the same message
 parsing that we use for all other IMs.  This means that all our
 encoding stuff works just as well with offline messages.

 AND the new offline message stuff works for ICQ accounts, too.  So I
 switched ICQ over to use it, which fixes offline message timestamps
 (if that was still a problem, I'm not sure) and offline message encoding
 bugs.

 Fixes #1229 (feature request for AIM offline messages)
 Fixes #1761 (ICQ offline message timestamp is wrong)
 Fixes #4300 (crash when receiving offline messages)
 Fixes #4464 (can't send IMs to invisible users)
