k-c-i basement means that it squashes all message parts, right? It
prevents client from proper multimedia message support, because such
messages should have alternatives ("multimedia" message part for
advanced clients and text fallback part for others) and we can't cut
the fallback text from final message even if we somehow extract its
multimedia content.

As a proof of geo messages concept, I changed KTp::Message to have
Tp::MessagePartList parts instead of QStringList parts and implemented
filters/geopoint for ktp-text-ui. The filter looks for
"application/geo+json" mime type in message parts and adds iframe with
google maps (I had no luck with OSM) as textual representation for the
part. KTP::Message::finalizedMessage() goes through parts and
concatenates best possible alternatives.

Actually, I realised that I should just used "geo:" URI as text
alternative, but, despite of this overkill :), we definitely need all
message parts in KTp to support modern messages with complex content.
