#16992: Port libpurple Python scripts to pydbus and Python 2+3

---------------------+-----------------------
 All the scripts are currently using the "dbus-python" package. dbus-python
 is essentialy dead, has a incorrect API ("For compatibility reasons, its
 API involves a lot of type-guessing (despite "explicit is better than
 implicit" and "resist the temptation to guess").") and is based on
 unmantained libdbus-glib library.

 pydbus is a modern, pythonic D-Bus library built on top of PyGI and GDBus:

 Also, most of the scripts aren't currently supporting Python 3. This patch
 makes them support both Python versions at the same time.
