VCard information is cached once but never updated on server-side changes.
Description
Our current VCard caching mechanism forces us to use and display potentially out-dated VCard data. Until XEP-0154 is approved and widely used we are forced to end the use of our cache and always request the VCard data from the server if we want the VCard information we display to always be up-to-date.
The cache is now re-fetched every 6 hours. Some tuning of the value may be needed.

I'm inclined to wontfix this, as afaik we aren't told when updates happen; we should update to use the newer avatar system, and cache the rest. Maybe refetch once a day or something.
