Introduce generic xmpp_conn_set_*() API

Instead of having a multitude of setter API functions for configuration options, provide generic ones for the different types we have.

@pasis what do you think of this idea?

I like the direction. But JID (and probably password) sounds to me like something more important than just a setting. Not critical, just my preferences.

Cool! Nice to hear.

But JID (and probably password) sounds to me like something more important than just a setting.

I also thought about whether there's some more important things that deserve a separate API and the JID/password was on that list. I ended up putting everything in there, since if you use SASL-EXTERNAL via client certificates to authenticate, there's no JID (or password) required. You could give a JID, if you want to authenticate as a different user than given in the certificate, but that's just an option.
