remove netscape instant messenger buddy icon code

I'm not adverse to support images in the message header pane (x-face, etc.),
but we won't do it by looking for netscape instant messaging file screen name
paths in your profile since we don't use netscape instant messenger anymore.

I think we should look into porting that (part of the) bug...

Out of curiosity, do we
think anyone still has profiles that contain these images in them?  I assume
the only ones that could possibly exist are ones that were used by some version
of Netscape (or were migrated from there).

I don't know what the SeaMonkey v2 import feature do (or not) about it;
but I can say that manually creating the directories and adding the image files still works (as I did it to test that bug).

Then, I'm not the one to decide if SMv2 wants to keep this feature or port its removal.
