+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #28192 +++

With the introduction of account plugins for MC it is now possible to have MC
exporting accounts that cannot be edited directly (i.e. account parameters are
calculated using some other information, e.g. for single-sign-on style
accounts).

This patch adds a new optional interface, Account.Interface.External, which
presents 3 properties:
 - b:External - indicates whether the account is external, and thus immutable;
 - s:ExternalName - a name for the interface that will be opened to edit the
account; and
 - s:ExternalEditor - a D-Bus well-known name for a program that can be
activated to edit the account -- the mechanism for doing this hasn't been
specified yet, in the short term we intend to simply use these as unique
identifiers.
