 If you've tried to sign on to an account but your password is wrong, it's
 cumbersome to fix the password and reconnect.  We should prompt the user
 for a new password and then immediately reconnect.

 We can do this by adding a "gboolean wrongpass" paramter to
 purple_connection_error(), and then handling the prompt and reconnect in
 libpurple.  This would require a bump to 3.0.0.  There might be a way to
 accomplish the same thing without the API change, though.
