annotate libpurple/plugin.h @ 29384:ad4960c2df28

Good call, this doesn't need to be translated. This messaged used to be shown to users, but now that we throttle outgoing messages to avoid hitting the rate limit, we don't bother showing this for some reason. I think it was annoying people and causing confusion. But it really should happen rarely if ever, so I think it's safe to keep it as a debug message and not translate it.
