Only update conversation features if they've actually changed. This prevents an infinite loop through the 'conversation-updated' signal. Though it can probably be fixed a bit better, since I think it means pidgin_conv_update_fields gets called twice.

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.
