It'd be nice if we could have gabble plugins add custom presence statuses and
link them with privacy lists on the server. Currently gabble has support for
"invisible" privacy list, which can be used when the user requests "hidden"
status, but it's hard to generalise this (until privacy lists get an analogue
in the Telepathy land).

By allowing plugins to add statuses and magically implement them using privacy
lists, we can use them immediately (setting the privacy lists up in the first
place is out of scope of this bug).

The git branch in the URL adds support for this.
