Use commandline tool for sending XMPP messages.

Loading sleekxmpp library with current Weechat version, causes to
highlightxmpp to fail. Probable reason is that sleekxmpp heavily uses
threading, while Weechat docs[1] clearly states, that threads shouldn't
be used.

-#   JID messages are sent from:
+#   echo "message" | sendxmpp someid@jabber.org
-#     /set plugins.var.python.highlightxmpp.jid someid@jabber.org

-#   JID messages are sent *to* (if not set, defaults to the same jid as above):

+# finally, you might want to change the sendxmpp binary to some other
