Build everything with the *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flags set. This allows us to detect when we're still using deprecated functions internally (and by extension, when we've deprecated something we shouldn't have). In the course of developing this changeset, I fixed a few such cases. Given that the plan is to switch from PURPLE_HIDE_STRUCTS to PURPLE_DISABLE_DEPRECATED as each struct is fully dealt with, this will also ensure we have no regressions on the struct hiding work. Deprecated functions are still available to the respective .c file, to avoid missing prototype errors. Also, Perl and DBus undef the *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED defines as appropriate so that deprecated functions will still be exported to Perl plugins and via DBus. (Otherwise, we'd be breaking backwards compatibility.)
