Add a purple_notify_user_info_add_pair_plaintext function that accepts a plaintext value and escapes it. This is a convenience function. Previously callers would have to escape the value themselves. The motivation for this is that a lot of callers didn't escape the value when they should have. See these screenshots for an example of the problem this causes: Here's what I set my jabber info to: http://img29.imageshack.us/i/screenshotafter.png/ Here's what the old code displayed when I viewed info for myself (incorrect): http://img691.imageshack.us/i/screenshotbeforev.png/ Here's what the new code displays (correct): http://img192.imageshack.us/i/screenshotafter.png/
