Now that the docklet icon is based on the status from status selector, it isn't necessary to have a separate DockletStatus enum/typedef to track the status. This replaces usage of DockletStatus with PurpleStatusPrimitive. This requires tracking connecting and pending flags separately and passing them on to the ui_ops implementation with the status. Removed an old TODO comment that has already been implemented.

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.
