So, if we add something like:

  Protocol.AddressableVCardFields: as
  Connection.RequestHandlesByVCardField(s: Field, as: Values) → au: Handles
  Channel.TargetVCardField: s

Then for connections that are offline you can look at the Protocol to determine
what types of contact they support addressing; for those that are online, you
can either still use that, or for a better idea look in
RequestableChannelClasses. I think this means we don't need an equivalent of
AddressableVCardFields on the Connection (for cases like XMPP where, in
general, we only support X-JABBER, but when we connect it might turn out that
our server has a SIP or POTS gateway).

So we want some way to store what we have discovered. But we also need a way
for the user to configure it, as mentioned in bug 24898. I'll take some
thoughts on that over there.
