Please sync gnome-online-accounts 3.4.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable and enable Facebook support

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * New upstream release:
    [ 3.3.92 ]
    - build: Add --disable-documentation flag
    - OAuth2Provider: add support for facebook client side auth flow
    - FacebookProvider: move to client-side flow
    - configure.ac: remove the facebook client secret
    - facebook: Unref the JSON parser
    - facebook: offline_access has been removed since it is deprecated
    - Fix typo in windows-live backend
    [ 3.4.0 ]
    - Translation changes

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
Facebook support would be nice, and Debian & Fedora at least already enable it. There's some concern
over what happens if Facebook changes the authentication methods 3 times in the next 5 years though.
We already support Google & Windows Live, but the Facebook support was enabled late in GNOME 3.4's
release cycle. For more discussion:

Changelog entries since current precise version 3.4.0-0ubuntu1:

gnome-online-accounts (3.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Update debian/copyright to the final copyright-format 1.0 spec.
