  [ Description ]

  Facebook messenger and Windows Live messenger don't work any more
  because Facebook & Microsoft removed third-party support for them.

  [ Fix & QA ]

  Stop supporting IM accounts for these clients. For both creation &
  continued use.

  Verify that if you add a WLM or FB account in online accounts, empathy
  doesn't try to connect to it.

  account-plugins-windows-live shouldn't be pulled in by default any
  more (check a trusty daily which is built with proposed).

  [ Regression potential ]

  This is a regression, in that we stop supporting some account types.
  We don't have a choice about this.
