Matthias Beyer 1c851bbb79 Rewrite store interface abstraction
Because we pull in libimagentryref here to create actual references to
the files we parse here, we need to rewrite the interface to be able to
pass the required information to the libimagentryref API.

libimagcontacts

The contact library basically only creates references to the actual vcard files, though it also can parse (via the vobject crate) the information and return it from an entry directly.

The architecture of indirections is as follows:


+--------------------------------+
|                                |
|     Store, as ContactStore     |
|                                |
+----------------+---------------+
                 |
                 | Provides access to
                 |
+----------------v---------------+
|                                |
|   (FileLock)Entry as Contact   |
|                                |
|      which is actually a:      |
|                                |
|     (FileLock)Entry as Ref     |
|                                |
+----------------+---------------+
                 |
                 | refers to
                 |
+----------------v---------------+
|                                |
|   vcard file (outside store)   |
|                                |
+----------------+---------------+
                 |
                 | contains
                 |
+----------------v---------------+
|                                |
|            vcard data          |
|                                |
+--------------------------------+
