Jabber account should be obsfucated like email addresses

Bug Description

I've started receiving SPAM on my Gmail address. The only place that address is publically listed is on Launchpad. It is listed on my info page as my Jabber ID (GMail accounts are also valid Jabber GTalk accounts).

So I guess that Jabber ID should be candidate for obsfucateEmail() when viewed by anonymous users.

It may save time to fix bug 296339 together with this bug

I tested today and not only jabber informations are displayed but sshkeys too.
I dont know if others fields can be used by spammer.
e.g. see anonymously ( non -logged) this page to confirm

Salgado, I think you just fix this bug while looking at the gpg/ssh issue on the profile page.

That's correct, Curtis. My branch will cause Jabber IDs to be hidden when viewed by anonymous users.
