Map global N/A and Away statuses to Facebook's Offline #71

Many plugins can automatically set Away and N/A global statuses (based on 
inactivity minutes and other params), but Facebook plugin still stays Online. 
It is wrong for several reasons. 

Running on desktop computer, it cause false sense of 24h online presence for 
friends, and nobody knows is now the right time to contact or not. Moreover, 
running Online while user is not near the machine cause miss of all the wall 
messages coming (it can be fixed more nicely making separate Wall 
pseudo-contact, with history etc.)

Mapping Away and N/A statuses to Offline makes this things more natural and 
easy to use.

Well, as many other protocols which doesn't support more statuses than Online 
and Offline, I'm keeping the same mapping, as being away doesn't mean you're 
not connected.

Try to be away on Facebook using just browser. After some inactivity time 
Facebook will not show you as online for your friends despite you stays 
connected. So, for Facebook being away _mean_ that you are not connected.
