These could be achieved by changing the tristate into a 4-state enum (although
we'd have to rename it from Presence_State to something else, to avoid
conflicts with the existing type of the same name in telepathy-qt4):

* Yes
* Ask (or Pending)
* Rejected
* No (also used for cancelled requests)

If we're not recycling telepathy-qt4's tristate, we might as well add an
Unknown member with numeric value 0, too.

Rejected would probably morph into No across a disconnect/reconnect on most
protocols.

> There's no merged draft for ContactBlocking.

There's now an unmerged draft, Bug #28423.
