Note that if CM has recent-enough spec (anything based on tp-glib), TpChannel
will ALWAYS create all its TpContact objects. This is because GROUP feature is
part of CORE, and new spec gives handle+id so creating contacts is free.
CONTACTS feature is to also ensuring those contacts have factory features
prepared, which is not free.

I would call the new method:

gboolean tp_contact_is_channel_specific (TpContact *self, TpChannel
**out_channel);

And accept out_channel==NULL.

That API could also be useful as guard for all
tp_contact_request_subscription_async(),
tp_connection_request_subscription_async() and all their friends. Adding there
g_return_if_fail (!tp_contact_is_channel_specific(contact, NULL));


So this is a +1 from me.
