Remove Facebook (XMPP) account option and support code
This patch removes the Facebook (XMPP) account option and any remaining
supporting code. According to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat
the Facebook XMPP Chat API service was ended April 30th, 2015. This code
has already been removed in Pidgin 3, and replaced with a new in-tree
version which uses a different mechanism. There is a backported version
which can be found at https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/wiki
This patch intentionally leaves the protocol icon, so that the
backported version mentioned above doesn't need to ship its own.
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.
