Handle abandonned servers

[Schnouki]

If a server has been offline (or missing, or unresponsive) for some time (2 months?), it should be considered as lost and the local server should

• remove its nodes that are cached locally
• unsubscribe local users from channels on this server
• unsubscribe remote users from local channels

Can we make sure stuff like this gets documented somehow? Otherwise the various implementations are going to implement different features and we'll have no idea :) Good idea though :)

remoteServerKill = setTimeout(deleteServer, 5259490000); lol

Of course, this has to be in the XEP. (Same for the MAM changes proposed in other recent issues). And I guess we'll discuss it on team@ before.
