[Telepathy] Empathy logging framework

This is for historical reasons: Gossip was using that XML format, then 
when empathy forked we kept that format, and now we made 
telepathy-logger based on empathy code...

But there are plans to implement different backends, to use a database 
instead of XML. IIRC someone already experimented a couchdb backend.

Help is of course welcome.

Xavier Claessens.
