The current API for contact lists involves a series of named contact list
channels (subscribe, publish, stored, allow, deny) and is in practice rather
complex to work with.

I have an in-progress branch that adds a TpContactListManager (although I might
rename it to TpBaseContactList), which is a channel manager for contact lists.
It provides a C API that looks suspiciously like the new ContactList and
ContactGroups D-Bus APIs (Bug #21787), and implements channels behind the
scenes in terms of that API.

Once I've got that class into shape, I can try implementing the new D-Bus API
with it too, by using it like a mixin.
