Use up the last padding for PurplePluginProtocolInfo in a way that allows adding newer functions without causing any major version bump. This is based on the changes from the .vv branch. I changed the PURPLE_PROTOCOL_PLUGIN_HAS_FUNC macro a little so it can be used for the old as well as the new functions. Someone should confirm this looks OK.

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.
