Tweak kartikmohta's patch a bit to use accessors instead of directly accessing struct members, add the @since tag to the doxygen comment in the API addition, and add the API addition to !ChangeLog.API. Refs #1131.

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.
