OnlineAccountClient needs to run the internal event loop within its own
context to avoid clashing with external main loops. This way, regardless
of what event loops exist externally, OnlineAccountClient will operate
as expected. This fix also means that the default for the
main_loop_select constructor parameter can now be
CreateInternalMainLoop.

Title:
  OnlineAccountClient hangs on construction

Status in “unity-scopes-api” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If an application has instantiated a main loop (E.g. In a Qt app via
  "new QCoreApplication()") but does not actually run that main loop,
  instantiating an OnlineAccountClient hangs.

  This was picked up when OnlineAccountClient was used from a scope that
  instantiated a QCoreApplication in order to execute QEventLoops
  elsewhere in the code, but did not actually use the application event
  loop.
