Account: when reconnecting, use RequestedPresence if possible

Previously, if an account was taken offline due to the internet
connection disappearing, when it was brought back up the
AutomaticPresence would be used, trampling on whatever the user had put
into RequestedPresence.

I guess this was deliberate … but it doesn't seem like very useful
behaviour. If I've explicitly set my presence to ('available', 'you can
talk to me now'), despite my AutomaticPresence being ('busy', 'probably
doing something else'), I don't see why a network connection blip should
cause my lovingly-written presence to be discarded.
