Still to do, but I still think it's OK.

One of the GNOME people explained in #telepathy that it's conventional to keep
the same .gir name even in new ABI versions. It's actually entirely possible to
select a GIR version in at least PyGI and gjs, so I'm inclined to say
"whatever, let's keep it TelepathyGLib", and patch GNOME Shell (perhaps also
GNOME Chat and Polari if they're g-i) to explicitly ask for "0.12" until it's
ported.

The Logger still installs:

/opt/telepathy-1.0/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Logger.gschema.xml

/opt/telepathy-1.0/libexec/telepathy-logger

The former might need to use clever dconf aliasing like MC does.

The latter is really easy.

In addition, we need to decide how to make the actual logs compatible (Bug
#70990).
