players' rating and status changes not being processed after their games end

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the <wa ...> availability notices in HelperConnection only work for when a 
player connects and i think when a player manually makes himself 
available/unavailable/etc.

i tried messing around with pin/gin/availinfo for HelperConnection in 
FICSConnection._connect() but I still couldn't get it to output these types of 
messages after the respective players in a game has their game end:

09:12:01
------------------------------------------------------------
khakimenez Blitz (1196), Std (1424), Wild (----), Light(----), Bug(----)
is now available for matches.
BocaJuniors(U) Blitz (++++), Std (++++), Wild (++++), Light(++++), Bug(++++)
is now available for matches.
09:12:11

For some reason I don't yet understand, I could only get them to appear as in 
the attached patch which parses the messages from the normal (non-helper) 
connection.

It's not that the message regexps are wrong; it's simply that, without the 
patch, these vital status/rating updates simply aren't sent by the server. 
They're very important for not only the player list; functions like 
AdjournedTabSection._update_infobarmessagebutton_sensitivity() rely on getting 
accurate status updates for setting their sensitivities correctly for buttons 
like "Request Continuation".

If anyone can figure out how to get helperconnection to do this, that would be 
cool.
