Account.I.Storage has a property for a set of restriction flags.

McdAccount::always-on allows the creation of accounts that can never go offline
(ideal for telephony), but now that we've abolished Mcd* as a plugin API,
there's no actual way to achieve that.

On Bug #71384 I suggested:

> >   return TP_STORAGE_RESTRICTION_FLAG_CANNOT_SET_PARAMETERS |
> >       TP_STORAGE_RESTRICTION_FLAG_CANNOT_SET_ENABLED |
> >       TP_STORAGE_RESTRICTION_FLAG_CANNOT_SET_PRESENCE |
> >       TP_STORAGE_RESTRICTION_FLAG_CANNOT_SET_SERVICE;
> 
> I think this suggests how we can supersede McdAccount::always-on:
> 
> * if we CANNOT_SET_ENABLED, then Enabled is forcibly set to what the
>   storage backend says it is (instead of TRUE, as always-on does)
> 
> * if we CANNOT_SET_PRESENCE, then AutomaticPresence and ConnectAutomatically
>   are forcibly set to what the storage backend says they are,
>   and RequestedPresence is forcibly set to
>   (ConnectAutomatically ? AutomaticPresence : (OFFLINE, "offline", ""))
