Having expressed concern about the "kick MC 5 if it crashes" functionality
landing in TpAccountManager, I now realise that a reasonable solution would be
API something like:

    am = tp_account_manager_new (...);
    tp_account_manager_enable_restart (am);

If we later decide that it's desirable to have in every application, we can
make this functionality always active, and make the opt-in call a no-op; if we
decide it was a bad idea, we can deprecate it (and if it turns out to have been
really bad, again make the call a no-op).

I personally think that when Empathy gets split up into components, the
presence-setting applet should kick MC if it crashes, but the other bits
shouldn't.

Sjoerd, do you think this is a reasonable compromise between making the restart
behaviour explicit, and copy/pasting between all the implementations?
