Related to Bug #77189 and Bug #77197.

My Haze update for Bug #77189 attempts to remove Protocol.I.Avatars from the
TpBaseProtocol object for protocols that do not actually implement avatars.
Unfortunately, this is not sufficient to remove it from the Interfaces
property, which has already been cached.

We should either have a way for a Protocol that implements the
get_avatar_details() vfunc to say "actually, I don't" - returning FALSE from
that vfunc, perhaps? - or decide that this situation is OK, and spec some
meaningless values for the properties (min = max = 0, etc.).
