#14943: More user friendly form when adding Google Talk account

When you add a Google Talk account, you get pretty much exactly the same
form as when adding a XMPP account, leaving the user to fill in fields
like "Remote", and "User alias", which I doubt many Google Talk users
would have a clue of what to do with.
A quick search in the help didn't make it clear to me what one would need
to fill in here, and leaving them empty gave me a apparently fine working
account, which leaves me with the questions why these fields are there in
the first place.
I suggest removing them (or if there is some significance which I am
ignorant of, make their purpose clear)
This would add to the user friendliness of this form, along with things
like filling out the domain field with gmail.com as a default (which I
though was a really good thing. else I think a lot of users would have no
idea what to fill in here)
