Great simplification of our messy contacts implementation. Lots of big changes here, but here are some highlights:

* Stop creating VCards, serializing them into strings, and then parsing them back into EDS Contact objects. Just create the Contact directly.

* Stop iterating over all EDS address books, looking for the one with the right display name. Simply request the correct address book by ID the first time. Also cache this instance through the lifetime of the script, so it doesn't need to be polled for continuously.

* Streamline a lot of the _create_contact logic, which was highly reminiscent of the old Gwibber code, where json-ish data structures were being schlepped around and copied from one form into another, for no apparent reason.
