The problem is that if we keep some data only locally because we cannot sync
them to Google, it goes against the principle of Akonadi being only a cache and
it can also lead to data loss - if you would delete your Akonadi database, you
would lose all this information that we couldn't upload to Google.

We should encode the custom fields that Google does not support out-of-the-box
into some "extra" fields that we can sync to Google (but unfortunately no other
clients will likely be able to understand them), and eventually have the
feature where the Contact Editor would only allow changing fields that the
respective backend supports (so if Google does not support Contact name
ordering, we would simply not make it configurable when creating a new contact
in Google Contacts addressbook).

For now, I'll look into the first step - encoding everything into the extra
fields.
