[sync] Stripping UIDs

[Karsten Fourmont]

some phones seem to send the local ID of an entry as UID, see
http://wiki.horde.org/SyncMLDevicesFileFormats
The Nokia 9500 sends something like
BEGIN VTODO
UID: 170

I doubt this is a globally unique ID :-(

We can enhance device.php to include a flag "producesValidUIDs()" and  
allow UIDs for devices where this is true.
Or alternatively do some heuristic checks (length, contains "@")  
before accepting a UID.

Cheers,
  Karsten
