Jabber Developer b4d3563b96 Cleanup (#5)
- Update formatting for stub files
- Update docs

While original project, Profanity, provides valuable basis for this
fork, we are not affiliated with the upstream. This commit
is updating documentation to reflect accurate information.

The docs are going to be updated further once the website is created.

## Project
This project is about freedom, privacy and choice. We want to enable people to chat with one another in a safe way. Thus supporting encryption (OTR, PGP, OMEMO, OX) and being decentralized, meaning everyone can run their own server. We believe [XMPP](https://xmpp.org/) is a great proven protocol with an excellent community serving this purpose well.
