#4157: Ability to Disable UPnP Advertisements under Windows UPnP

Under the current (V2.3.0) Windows port, Pidgin always sends out Universal
Plug and Play (UPnP) requests. There are no configuration or plug-in
options to disable this advertisement. Being able to block these
broadcasts would reduce the surface exposure of Pidgin and provide an
alternative from the non-scalable kludge of blocking this request via host
firewalls. All other network traffic seems to be controllable from the
client.
Providing a configuration option (or a plugin) to disable the user to
disable UPnP is requested.
