Show buddy information in tooltip text, and the display name for status text. Added msim_store_buddy_info(), which saves user information from the user info reply directly to the buddy list node. Callback functions now use purple_blist_node_get_{int,string}() to retrieve fields, such as UserID, DisplayName, TotalFriends, Age, etc. from the buddy list node.
