Branch rebased on master, now using the factory to create TpContact. It has an
issue making some unit tests fail:

TpChannel constructor gets actor handle/id from immutable-properties, so it
creates a TpContact right away. Though if the TpConnection was not prepared
before, it does not yet know it has immutable-handles => can't create the
TpContact from handle/id pair.

To avoid races, TpChannel will need to delay contact creation until
TpConnection has CORE prepared.

Another question: atm all TpContact objects are created as part of TpChannel's
CORE feature because we can create them without extra round-trip. Though, I
would like to add a feature TP_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CONTACTS that delay exposing the
contacts until all desired contact features set on the factory are prepared on
them. Or should I only create TpContact objects if that feature is prepared?
