B. Petersen 8fdb048b6a alter the memberlist more carefully
up to now, Chat-Group-Member-Added and -Removed commands
result in a complete recreation of the memberlist
by collecting all addresses from the From: and To: headers.

this easily results in missed and accidentally removed members,
esp. when several people at the same time scan a qr code to join a group.

this commit changes the behavior of adding members by
not removing members on the Chat-Group-Member-Added command.
instead the existing memberlist is conjuncted
with the memberlist seen in the message.

only adding the member from the Chat-Group-Member-Added
seems not to be sufficient - imaging a group of Alice and Bob:
- Alice adds Claire
- Bob adds Dave _before_ seeing that Alice added Claire
- Dave would never get the information that Claire is in the group

wrt Chat-Group-Member-Removed: this command
does no longer recreate the memberlist but just remove _exactly_ the member
mentioned in the header. there are situations, where a just removed member
will be readded by out-of-order-messages, however, compared to missed
members, this is seems to be acceptable - also as this is more visible
and easier to fix (just remove the member again).
might be that, in practise, this is not a big issue. while adding members
is typically done in masses on bootstraping a group,
this is typically not true for removing members.
