Given that there are no alternatives to Chat, I'm in favour of
hardcoding it, at least for a proof of concept. If Chat's not
installed, drop the invitation on the floor.

sugar.presence emits 'private-invitation' with the Telepathy text
channel for the connection with the non-Sugar client.

Sugar team, can we (in the shell) iterate over the installed
activities to find Chat?

The issue I'm not sure of is how to pass the Telepathy channel in the
invitation to Chat.
