jabber: Remove the roster pool stuff. The purpose of this seems to be to re-use buddies (move a buddy from one group to another instead of delete/create). purple_blist_add_buddy ends up calling serv_move_buddy (to move the buddy server-side), but this wasn't actually a problem due to js->currently_parsing_roster_push being set (which wasn't obvious at all). Anyway, long story short, both deryni and I think this is probably more effort than it's worth.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
