#11997: Provide option to disable video chat entirely

 Video chat support is still not 100% reliable, and in my experience (on
 Fedora x86_64) an incoming video request from a Google Talk user would
 reliably cause Pidgin to enter a busy loop (unresponsive interface, 100%
 CPU utilization. Before the recipient (me) is even given the option to
 accept or reject the call! Thank goodness for multicore CPUs!)

 This is a security risk -- it could be used as a Denial of Service tool.
 There needs to be a dialogue box prompting the user to accept/reject the
 video request, *before* any of the video subsystem is activated. And there
 should also be a unified way to disable voice or video functionality
 across all protocol
