OnlineAccountClient hangs on construction

[Marcus Tomlinson]

If an application has instantiated a main loop (E.g. In a Qt app via "new QCoreApplication()") but does not actually run that main loop, instantiating an OnlineAccountClient hangs.

This was picked up when OnlineAccountClient was used from a scope that instantiated a QCoreApplication in order to execute QEventLoops elsewhere in the code, but did not actually use the application event loop.

OnlineAccountClient needs to run the internal event loop within its own context to avoid clashing with external main loops. This way, regardless of what event loops exist externally, OnlineAccountClient will operate as expected. This fix also means that the default for the main_loop_select constructor parameter can now be CreateInternalMainLoop.
