If built with --enable-ubuntu-online-accounts, accounts dialog always opens the UOA one

Submitted by Jeremy Bicha Link to original bug (#701903)
Description
Ubuntu GNOME would like to ship GNOME with Empathy with GOA integration but without UOA integration (since it confuses users to have two places to enter account info and the dependency on libqtwebkit4 and other Qt libraries makes our ISO bigger than it needs to be). We are limited because as an official flavor we have to use the same empathy packaging as Ubuntu.
Ubuntu's Empathy is built with GOA and with UOA.
- Install Ubuntu's Empathy
- Be sure to install the mcp-account-manager-goa plugin and not the mcp-account-manager-uoa plugin
- Click the Accounts link in the Empathy app menu (there's a similar link to set up accounts in the empty contact list if you don't have any accounts configured yet).
What happens Nothing (assuming you don't have gnome-control-center-signon installed and similar UOA bits)
What should happen Instead of being a build-time check, Empathy should do a run-time check for the mcp-account-manager-uoa plugin.
