Bug description:
  The 1.0 API is being deprecated on April 30, 2015.

  [Impact] Depending on how facebook decides to handle the deprecation,
  there's the possibility that creating facebook accounts from Ubuntu
  Online Accounts will just stop working, if our OAuth request (which
  uses deprecated parameters) gets declined.

  [Test case] Until the deprecation actually takes place, we won't be able to reproduce the bug. According to the Facebook official documentation, the v1.0 API will stop working on April 30th, 2015:
  https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog

  [Regression potential] Very low: the new Facebook v2.0 API is already
  active, and we've been using it in Vivid without issues. A quick smoke
  test (just create a Facebook account from the System Settings ->
  Online Accounts pane) is anyway advised, to be absolutely sure.
