I didn't look too closely at this API (I've never noticed it before),
but it looks like it clears a libpurple-only copy of the message history
(Sadrul indicates it's planned to be used in 3.0.0+).

I wonder if (as a 2.8.0 change), _clear_message_history() should also
emit a signal that the UI could use to clear its scrollback history.

Does anyone think clearing the visual scrollback and libpurple history
should be de-coupled?
