#15879: wrong "iq" detected during login

Comment (by deryni):
The hacky plugin attached to this ticket does exactly that sort of
workaround. The comment (and email) by xnyhps indicates a workaround that
leaves the security change intact but attempts to be maximally compatible.
It is a shame that, pidgin included, so few clients were checking this
stuff correctly in the past and that servers got away with being broken
for so long but fixing them is always better than working around them.
Especially working around breakage as extensive as that which facebook
exhibits.
That being said if xnyhps's suggestion is considered reasonably and secure
it is likely that it will be implemented to cover these cases.
