retitle 919487 Bump SONAME of the library

Hi Jeremy,

After reading of all documentation about symbols files on Debian and Ubuntu
resources and after playing with libqxmpp0.symbols for qxmpp-0.9.3 and
qxmpp-1.0.0 I see that they are almost useless in our case, because they
are solving completely another task.

For checking of ABI compatibility between different versions of library
special tools like ABI Compliance Checker may be used. But while qxmpp
development does not follow any guideline similar to [1] using of such
tools will be useless as well.

So the current plan of actions is now related only with increasing of SONAME.
I am not going to add symbols file anymore.

Any comments?
