Refactored and cleaned up the addition of status information to user info / tooltips in oscar prpl. * For consistency with other services, we call the away/available message 'Status' and put it first. * We prepend the status name if there is no message or it's an ICQ buddy. * We make use of the previously UTF8-decoded strings when possible rather than re-decoding with each access. * Properly escape available messages, which are plain text, for the Get Info window * Don't include 'online since' for SMS buddies, as they are always online
