This PR moves i tags, which almost nobody supports, from kind 0 to its own kind 10011.

There is no point in growing the size of kind 0 with lots of tags nobody supports.

I feel like we can merge this faster since no one really supports these tags.

I would prefer we don't modify 3 years old protocol. Nostria uses these tags and will continue to do so, I understand many clients doesn't use them, but some does and until here is any widespread adoption of kind 10011 for this, which there for very obvious reason will never be (given that there is lack of using it now), I'll continue to use kind 0 for "i" tags for external identities.

This change is absolutely not needed. "Nobody" will use it (given your own words and evidence), so instead of simply leaving what is there, which some clients has already implemented, you introduce a massive backwards compatibility train for an extremely little used feature.

I suggest reverting this PR.

I am neutral on this.
