Save avatar of contacts for personal use

[sander]

It should be possible to save the avatar of contacts for personal use. It would be nice if this is possible in the following places:

* avatar field in the chat window
* avatar field in the business card window
* avatar in the roster (maybe skip this one?)

Implemented the
* avatar field in the business card window
using dnd. You just drag the image to the desktop and you get it as an image file. Since this is using tkdnd it wont work on Mac.

Adding a similar mechanism for the avatar roster is currently not possible since this will interfere with the contacts being a xmpp uri drag source. If this is going to be possible there must be a different selection mechanism for the actual contact and its avatar. A bit messy, at least for the moment.

The

* avatar field in the chat window

now works the same way. Just drag and drop it, on a whiteboard for instance.

Looked into delivering image data as such as a drag source but it is unclear what formats are acceptable.

* avatar in the roster (maybe skip this one?)
