Both commits here may fix #7002. If that doesn't happen, we'll reopen it.

…sent

This prepares for sending self-status only together with self-avatar in encrypted messages. The idea
is that self-status normally doesn't change frequently, so it's not a problem to re-send the whole
profile. Self-status is rather a biography, it even goes to "NOTE:" in vCards, so it's not a contact
status at a particular moment like "online" or "busy", and to see it one should go to the contact
profile.

Don't check for "Chat-Version" header though. So if a non- Delta Chat key-contact removes footer,
its "status" remains, but this shouldn't be a problem.

For unencrypted messages self-status will still be always attached except MDNs, reactions and
SecureJoin messages, so that it's visible as the message footer in other MUAs.
The normal way of synchronizing self-avatar and -status nowadays is sync messages.

It seems to happen easily that the bio is deleted again or the pfp is reverted due to sync issues
