Show the forever alone image if the contact list is empty!

What about having 2 models and 2 contact list widget, initialize both,
show one of them, hide the other.. If kpeople model is empty and the
other one is not, something went wrong, we can switch automatically to
the traditional mode, otherwise display the mighty kpeople mode. You
could also add a button to switch, but that will break the string freeze.

I don't know how much extra dbus traffic will be generated by having 2
different models though. A build time flag to enable kpeople only could
be useful.
