I don't really want to do a migration/upgrade step without also introducing a
better on-disk format. This comment is relevant:

    /* FIXME: this is ridiculous. MC stores the parameters for the account, so
     * it should be able to expose them on D-Bus even if the CM is uninstalled.
     * It shouldn't need to iterate across the parameters supported by the CM.
     * But it does, because MC doesn't store the types of parameters. So it
     * needs the CM (or .manager file) to be around to tell it whether "true"
     * is a string or a boolean…

We should store one account per file in a GVariant-based format, probably.
