Refactor msim_tooltip_text() and msim_get_info_cb(), so that they now both use one function, msim_append_user_info(), to create PurpleNotifyUserInfo. The information now always comes from an MsimUser instead of sometimes coming from MsimUser (for tooltip text) and sometimes from a user info protocol reply, msim_store_buddy_info() now can store user information from an MsimMessage into any MsimUser (such as a temporary user created when doing get info on someone not on your buddy list), or into the MsimUser of PurpleBuddy.proto_data.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
