           Summary: Accessors in Channel and other D-Bus proxies which are
                    initialized from immutable properties should return
                    the immutable property data immediately after
                    construction

Currently, Channel only populates the accessors like channelType() from the
immutable properties when FeatureCore preparing is started. This makes us and
others write code like the following in the handleChannels() implementation of
the internal SimpleStreamTubeHandler class:

> // TODO: if Channel ever starts utilizing its immutable props for the immutable
> // accessors, use Channel::channelType() here
> const QString channelType =
>     chan->immutableProperties()[QLatin1String(
>          TELEPATHY_INTERFACE_CHANNEL ".ChannelType")].toString();

I believe a similar situation exists for some other classes too. I specifically
fixed ChannelRequest to work sensibly in this regard last year.
