When getting info on a myspace user not on the buddy list, a temporary PurpleBuddy is needed so that the data can be associated properly. This fixes a bug wherein the profile link went to http://myspace.com/0 for all buddies not on the list. A check against that uid being 0 has also been added to avoid displaying junk data. Such temporary MsimUser objects (note that the temporariness of MsimUser objects is unchanged; a temporary PurpleBuddy has just been added to go with it) are destroyed before a delayed callback can be triggerred. This means that we can not request a buddy icon on that object, because we will end up with a pointer to freed data in the callback some time in the future. This fixes a crash when getting info on a non-buddy list buddy (which for reasons I can't pinpoint was most likely if the username contained capital letters). A reference counting system for MsimUser objects would fix this but is a significantly more complex solution.
