#1455: add buddy dialog shows groups from other accounts

Comment (by andrixnet):
1) several users sharing the same machine user account, even on other
systems is not necessarily a missuse, as there can be good reasons for it.
(several people sharing the same profile due to work schedule and other
complications in their work really unecessary due to different user
accounts)
(my girlfriend sometimes wants to access her IM account and I let her use
my computer, now, really, this doesn't necessitates creating a whole new
user account on my machine).
2) what I explained in the initial submission makes the (optional) hiding
of empty groups counter-productive.
As empty groups (from current account) _must_ be shown. Therefore the
issue described in the last comment does not apply. Also it wouldn't apply
for another reason, by reating a group, surely this must mean that an
account is already connected. So that group would be tied to that account
to begin with. (If more were active, it should be tied to each)
The setting "show empty groups" might become "show groups from other
accounts".
