           Summary: add a way to make a TpContact synchronously, if the CM
                    is modern
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other

Now that handles don't expire (at least on some CMs), it's possible to have
this logic for e.g. receiving messages and getting Group changes:

* if the connection has immortal handles and we know the handle and we know the
identifier, make a TpContact synchronously (needs new API, see branch) and
signal the event straight away

* else if we have a cached TpContact (needs new API, not yet written) signal
the event straight away

* else make a TpContact asynchronously and signal the event later; if you don't
like your messages being re-ordered, upgrade your CM('s library)

Probably blocks Bug #27175, certainly blocks Bug #29531.
