As with accounts (#29528) I'd like to be able to ask for extra account and
connection features when preparing the account manager.

One of my use case here is Empathy's account chooser widget. It offers a
_set_filter() API so user just have to return TRUE/FALSE depending if he wants
to to sensitive the account or not.
The "new call" dialogs uses it and filter accounts having a connection
supporting media channels. To re-implement it using TpCapabilities (and so
clean and simplify Empathy), the user should receive a TpAccount which is ready
and which has a TpConnection having TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES
prepared.

If we follow the crazy idea I suggested in bug #29528 this could easily be done
by passing TP_ACCOUNT_FEATURE_CORE and TP_CONNECTION_FEATURE_CAPABILITIES to
tp_proxy_prepare_async() when preparing the account manager.
