 Stop attempting to fetch oscar buddy info automatically for people on our
 buddy list.  tmm1 (Aman Gupta) correct pointed out that the only thing we
 need this for is to show users' status messages in the buddy list, and new
 AIM clients have been putting the status message in the userinfo block
 which
 is sent as part of the presence.  So we can eliminate a lot of code.

 We now grab screen name formatting when we get the initial presence for
 buddies rather than when we get the auto-fetched info

 And the "message" stored in the buddy's PurpleStatus will now be
 plaintext even when the away message contains HTML.  This is because
 the status message from the userinfo block is always plaintext.
 This doesn't cause problems for any UIs that I'm aware of, but let
 me know if it undesirable for you.

 Fixes #9843
