Wrong time stamps in messages (presumably) from MAM

[mdosch]

When opening a MUC and receiving old messages (presumably from MAM) some messages showed the real time stamp, but some in between showed the current time stamp of the moment opening the chat.

Expected Behavior

All messages should show the time stamp when the message was sent.

Current Behavior

Some messages show the time stamp from the moment the messages are received.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Profanity is not connected
2. Receive messages in a MUC you are participating in.
3. Connect profanity.
4. Compare time stamps of the fetched messages to the real time stamps (e.g. in another client).

Environment

Looking at chatlog.c I think this may be the issue
if (timestamp == NULL) {
timestamp = g_date_time_new_now_local();
} else {
g_date_time_ref(timestamp);
}

If the message has somehow lost its timestamp its just set to the local time so as not lack having a time stamp. Trying to work on it now, just not sure if this is the source of the issue since something is causing it to lose the timestamp.
