Support for empathy/telepathy via telepathy-haze

[SamRH]

It would be cool if support for telepathy/empathy could be added. I don't think it is too difficult, however documentation appears to be sparse. Reading through this bug report it looks like a profile and manager file need to be created;

~/.local/share/telepathy/managers/haze.manager
~/.local/share/mission-control/profiles/torchat.profile

telepathy-haze cannot cope with the second hypen in the ID.
Remove that and it seems to work.

If you use Empathy you may need to run:
mc-tool add haze/prof7bittorchat torchat string:account=Tor

to see your account. The KDE Telepathy client automatically creates an account KCM.

I couldn't get it to work. Do I need to do anything apart from installing torchat2 and running mc-tool for it to work (in empathy)?

killall mission-control-5 so it reloads what libpurple supports.
