#10019: libpurple can write a blist.xml that it cannot later read

-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 I'm using the lastsaid plugin, and so Pidgin was storing MySpace status
 updates (that were being sent to me as IMs for some reason or another--I
 understand that's fixed in 2.6.1) in blist.xml as the "lastsaid" of
 various users. The data looked like this:

 {{{<setting name='lastsaid'
 type='string'>DateTime=128953706623187643&#x1c;Eve}}}

 And that throws the following xmllint error:

 {{{
 blist.xml~:931: parser error : xmlParseCharRef: invalid xmlChar value 28
                                         <setting name='lastsaid'
 type='string'>DateTime=128953706623187643&#x1c;Eve
 ^
 }}}

 libpurple probably shouldn't be allowed to write an XML file that it can't
 later read.
