Add new option `include_offline_state` which is by default false

We remove the offline state as a choice in the dropdown because
'offline' is not a valid XMPP state and it doesn't propagate across tabs.

expose_rid_and_sid
------------------
* Default: ``false``
Allow the prebind tokens, RID (request ID) and SID (session ID), to be exposed
globally via the API. This allows other scripts served on the same page to use
these values.
*Beware*: a malicious script could use these tokens to assume your identity
and inject fake chat messages.
forward_messages
----------------
* Default: ``false``
If set to ``true``, sent messages will also be forwarded to the sending user's
bare JID (their Jabber ID independent of any chat clients aka resources).
This means that sent messages are visible from all the user's chat clients,
and not just the one from which it was actually sent.
This is especially important for web chat, such as converse.js, where each
browser tab functions as a separate chat client, with its own resource.
This feature uses Stanza forwarding, see also `XEP 0297: Stanza Forwarding <http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0297.html>`_
For an alternative approach, see also `message_carbons`_.
fullname
--------
If you are using prebinding, can specify the fullname of the currently
logged in user, otherwise the user's vCard will be fetched.
hide_muc_server
---------------
* Default: ``false``
Hide the ``server`` input field of the form inside the ``Room`` panel of the
controlbox. Useful if you want to restrict users to a specific XMPP server of
your choosing.
hide_offline_users
------------------
* Default: ``false``
If set to ``true``, then don't show offline users.
include_offline_state
---------------------
* Default: `false`
Originally, converse.js included an `offline` state which the user could
choose (along with `online`, `busy` and `away`).
Eventually it was however decided to remove this state, since the `offline`
state doesn't propagate across tabs like the others do.
What's meant by "propagate across tabs", is that when you set the state to
`offline` in one tab, and you have instances of converse.js open in other tabs
in your browser, then those instances will not have their states changed to
`offline` as well. For the other statees the change is however propagated.
The reason for this is that according to the XMPP spec, there is no `offline`
state. The only defined states are:
* away -- The entity or resource is temporarily away.
* chat -- The entity or resource is actively interested in chattiIng.
* dnd -- The entity or resource is busy (dnd = "Do Not Disturb").
* xa -- The entity or resource is away for an extended period (xa = "eXtended Away").
Read the [relevant section in the XMPP spec](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#presence-syntax-children-show) for more info.
What used to happen in converse.js when the `offline` state was chosen, is
that a presence stanza with a `type` of `unavailable` was sent out.
This is actually exactly what happens when you log out of converse.js as well,
with the notable exception that in the `offline` state, the connection is not
terminated. So you can at any time change your state to something else and
start chatting again.
This might be useful to people, however the fact that the `offline` state
doesn't propagate across tabs means that the user experience is inconsistent,
confusing and appears "broken".
If you are however aware of this issue and still want to allow the `offline`
state, then you can set this option to `true` to enable it.
i18n
----
* Default: Auto-detection of the User/Browser language
If no locale is matching available locales, the default is ``en``.
Specify the locale/language. The language must be in the ``locales`` object. Refer to
``./locale/locales.js`` to see which locales are supported.
