If we get an error SNAC on the ICBM family and it's missing buddy name then
don't fallthrough to the default error handler in misc.c. This was causing
purple_parse_msgerr() in oscar.c to get called with different va_args than
it was expecting, which caused a crash. Specifically when trying to fetch
the ICQ x-status of an offline buddy.

Fixes #11863. This is nosnilmot's patch, I believe. I had no part in it,
other than verifying that I do believe it'll fix the crash.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
