The queue is a great thing to have around to determine plugin enabled / active status, and any active plugin's output is also easily retrieved. This function disables all status message plugins when the presence is set to a custom user presence from the contactlist, for instance. In this case, all plugins should be disabled irregardless of the number of plugins. This solution is probably good looking forward, as the least likely to impact multiple-enabled plugin scenarios because the unseen ones are deactivated by default and won't allow plugins to overwrite the active status message if it's also from an active plugin.

> Move status message plugins into a separate class. New infrastructure to help mitigate the occurrence of bug #334492 while using status message plugins: 1) buffering of the last n status messages, and 2) a limiter to help stop flooding the presence changer. Also strips redundant and disused data structures from both classes.

State-affinity in the 95% of previously noted cases has been vastly improved also, the few remaining issues should be due to "lite" protocols that don't have a full complement of on-line presences.
