Make gtkbuddynote load itself if it finds buddynote was loaded and it is not, which will make things work better for people upgrading from a version that had no gtkbuddynote plugin. Also don't show empty buddy notes in the tooltip, and make the formatting of the tooltip more in line with other stuff in there
