If we have an McdTransport plugin in residence, connections attempts 
can fail as a result of these before a McdConnection connetion attempt
is made: Since there is no state change, no status change signal is omitted,
which can be confusing for UIs and so forth:

• Available status is requested
• McdAccount tries to go online
  • McdTransport intervenes here: this may fail
• "Real" connection attempt is made iff the transport says "Ok"

This branch makes the McdAccount's status go to CONNECTING as soon
as possible, so that early termination due to McdTransport failure
can generate the appropriate status change signal.

Note that this doesn't affect vanilla MC as we don't (currently)
ship with any transport plugins, but there's WIP to provide 
Network Manager etc integration, which would be affected as it 
uses the McdTransport mechanism.
