Modify version responses to return a generic client name and omit
version strings. Drop the "profanity." prefix from dynamically
generated JID resources. Clear the XEP-0115 capabilities node URI to
prevent service discovery fingerprinting. These adjustments reduce the
client's attack surface by minimizing identifiable metadata.
