Abandon Private Rooms (Separees)

When updating to ILIAS 9 the chat server of older ILIAS versions cannot be used anymore. Furthermore the chat client of older ILIAS versions (ILIAS 8.x or previous versions) will not be able to communicate with an ILIAS 9 chat server.

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

Private Rooms ("Séparées") need a lot of code and testing to work properly. For most users, they have become superfluous since the introduction of ther on-screen chat. Hence, I suggest to abandon this feature.
