Indeed, we did a lot of work to weed out the uses of bare QVariantMaps with
"well-known" keys in tp-qt4 0.5, but it seems we missed one case, which has
confused at least two people by now (and counting).

The class should be similar to our other bare variant map wrappers, with
friendly accessors for commonly used properties, but retaining bare map access
to allow extensions.

Additionally, it could use integration with the SupportedAccountProperties
property described here:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/Account_Manager.html#Property:SupportedAccountProperties

such that you'd have some methods for checking whether setting a particular
property is supported, and perhaps warnings for attempts to set with no
support. This requires the wrapper class to be linked up to an introspected
AccountManager, though.
