send keyboard-stickers as such #1945

many system keyboards these days have the option to select/handle stickers.

Delta Chat supports these stickers, however, they are sent as images and not as stickers.

we should change them to be sent out as DC_MSG_STICKER, esp. as all UI display stickers nicely meanwhile.

this is eg. how the sticker-selector looks on an motog with android7:

i just had a closer look at the code: the function that needs to be changed seems to be ComposeText::onCommitContent() - assuming, that all kinds of images incoming here should be treated as stickers, we should directly send the sticker-message out instead of staging it using mediaListener.onMediaSelected().
