Get Instantbird changes merged upstream that support adding Off-the-Record messaging

Instantbird requires changes to its application programming interface before we can add Off-the-Record messaging support to it. We have been discussing requirements with the Instantbird developers. We were first planning to get our code changes merged into the main Instantbird codebase by May 15, but had to shift this to September 15, because we were blocking on feedback by the Instantbird developers. As of September 15, 2014, the relevant commits (available here and here) have been merged upstream. That concludes this task. Arlo was working on this task.

Move to July 15, because we're still blocking on review.

July 15 was too optimistic, and Arlo won't have much time to work on this for August 15, so let's move this to September 15.
