Mission Control 5.16.x has both UPower and logind suspend-detection, and is
recommended for use with GNOME 3.10. 5.17.x (where I suggest this change)
targets GNOME 3.12.

However, we do try to avoid being tied to particular GNOME releases: Telepathy
is a cross-desktop project (also used in KDE, for a start), and we aim for it
to be safe for distros to upgrade Telepathy while using the previous GNOME
release.

If the UPower release that deletes this API will have a known version number,
we could change the pkg-config check from [upower-glib] to [upower-glib < 0.10]
or [upower-glib < 0.9.23] or something, resulting in our UPower support being
disabled for newer upower-glib?

(That would be better for the 5.16.x branch, anyway - I'm not going to remove
features from a stable-branch, but I wouldn't mind tightening the condition
under which that feature is available.)

I'd rather not get into AC_CHECK_FUNC([up_client_suspend_sync]) or similar,
since it doesn't combine well with pkg-config.
