annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 30720:8c586dbcae2d

Since a buddy's avatar information is distributed as part of their online presence information, if they have changed their avatar while we were offline (and they're now offline) we won't see the change until we're both online at the same time. So when the user requests to view a buddy's profile, we now also request their current AvatarId - if it is different to what Pidgin has cached, we request the new image. Move buddy's avatar processing out of mxit_update_buddy_presence() and into new function mxit_update_buddy_avatar(). The buddy avatar updating is called when we receive a buddy's presence update or when we request the buddies profile.
