annotate libpurple/protocols/myspace/message.c @ 25396:06a802d32d71

I incorrectly assumed that the FindMembership and ABFindAll SOAP requests on MSN would not require token updates. However, these two requests may be made when it discovers that someone is requesting to be on your buddy list. Change these SOAP requests so that they will auto-update tokens. References #7921, only because I saw it in the log there, but probably doesn't fix it.
