Add a flag in Message_Key for message sent form another terminal

Description
On some protocols, like Skype, when messages are sent from another protocol, the messages are also sent to all other connected terminals. This allow keeping all the computers/phone/tablet on sync in a way you can switch from one to another and not loose the context.
On the N900 those messages are simply sent as new messages with the annoying side effect that the phone notify you of a new message, while in fact it is you that sent the message from you computer.
What I'm proposing is to add a flag to Message_Key headers that would serve this purpose. I have two options in mind.
- A very specific flag similar to "echoed", that would applied for the type of message described before
- Or a more generic one like "no-notify", that can be used for any new messages that do not really require user attention.
