Audio/video messaging

While the actual audio/video data is currently delivered out of band, some clients send following messages using the old protocol syntax:

_message_audio

• _source – the sender
• _target – a single recipient or chatroom
• _time_publish_start – the time the transmission started
• _media_identification – an opaque value, currently not specified
• _nick — nickname of sender. optional.

Default psyctext template is "[_source] starting to transmit media at [_time_publish_start]."

_message_video

uses the same variables and template as _message_audio. Merely the change in method name hints at the different type of media.
