Update chat/{libpurple,pidgin} to version 2.12.0
version 2.12.0 (03/09/2017):
libpurple:
* Fix an out of bounds memory read in purple_markup_unescape_entity.
CVE-2017-2640
* Fix use of uninitialised memory if running non-debug-enabled versions of glib
* Updated AIM dev and dist ID's to new ones that were assigned by AOL.
* TLS certificate verification now uses SHA-256 checksums.
* Fixed SASL external auth for Freenode.
* Removed the MSN protocol plugin. It has been unusable and dormant for some
time. MSNP18 has been discontinued and the protocol plugin would require a
large update to start working again. See: http://ismsndeadyet.com/ The
third-party Pidgin SkypeWeb plugin, however, should provide enough
functionality as a replacement if people still want to use MSN:

* Removed Mxit protocol plugin. The service was closed at the end of
September 2016. See
https://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2016-September/024078.htm
* Removed the MySpaceIM protocol plugin. The service has been defunct for a
long time. (#15356)
* Remove the Yahoo! protocol plugin. Yahoo has completely
reimplemented their protocol, so this version is no longer operable as
of August 5th, 2016:

A new protocol plugin has been written to support the new protocol.
