Send and retrieve encrypted files when using OMEMO

[wstrm]

Expected Behavior

The /sendfile command should send the file encrypted as AES-256 in GCM while using OMEMO, according to XEP-xxxx: OMEMO Media Sharing.

Profanity should also be able to decrypt files and save them to the file system as is already supported when retrieving unencrypted files.

Current Behavior

When sending files with /sendfile the files are sent unencrypted and my friends gets upset that I'm not using OMEMO Media Sharing.

When receiving an encrypted files an aesgcm:// URI is displayed.

Possible Solution

N/A

Context

I am member of a large MUC that uses OMEMO, a lot of memes are shared an I want to save them seamlessly to my file system.

Environment

N/A

Yep, that's right. This issue is for tracking progress of that feature and so it can be assigned easily.
I added the link to it at the appropriate place in #1262.
Which is just the general feature tracker.

There was some discussion the other day in one of the MUCs about profanity sending unencrypted files in an encrypted chat without warning users about it. That's why I made #1270 until we have actual file encryption :)

As I already said in the conversations MUC I'd rather have a way to override that.

#1270 got merged. /omemo sendfile on is now needed to allow sending unencrypted files using /sendfile while in an OMEMO session.
