Implement singleton delivery (emulate nomadic identity to singleton networks and services)

convert 'diaspora_meta' (Diaspora Comment Virus) to iconfig and eradicate from sites with Diaspora disabled

upgrade statistics.json to NodeInfo. Currently hubzilla sites are tagged as 'redmatrix' because the NodeInfo schema lacks extensibility and project names are used to designate protocol compatibility rather than protocol names.
Std-embeds
New addon to allow a handful of corporate providers to run unfiltered embed code (youtube, vimeo, soundcloud)
Various:
upgrade font-awesome icons and adapt a few addons to Objects and the new hook interface and new controller interface
Hubzilla 1.4
[This list may appear brief, but encompasses a huge amount of re-writing and re-factoring
of the internal code structure to gain long-term performance and stability and provide a standard
interface to alternate protocol federation plugins which were made possible by the UNO configuration.
UNO is a configuration of hubzilla introduced in 1.3 with reduced complexity and which provides
improved protocol federation potential to other networks by virtue of removing nomadic identity
(which is not possible to model or work around using other network protocols).]

Remove bookmark references in UNO (which has no bookmarks by default)
