inhibit exit if the indicator is present

Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify
By default we now disable the pidgin icon in the notification area and rely on
the message indicator applet for access to the buddy list. This works fine
once you access the buddy list from the indicator applet, but if you close the
buddy list window before accessing pidgin from the indicator applet pidgin
exits.
This is not only confusing, but not very intuitive. In our default
configuration (with the indicator applet), pidgin should not exit unless you
chose Buddies->Quit in the buddy list window. Clicking the "X" should just
hide the window.
However, there are other configurations users might have that would leave them
without a way to access the buddy list at all. If for example a user of
xubuntu closes the buddy list, it gets hidden and he has know way to raise that
buddy list again. Launching pidgin a second time doesn't help, it just detects
pidgin is running and exits.
To address the scenario where there is no indicator, we should be able to check
if the indicator is present (bug 352616) and inhibit exit if it is. If not,
closing the buddy list will actually exit.
