What does this change have to do with GtkPrivacy?

The account->perm_deny setting gets loaded in libpurple/blist.c:651
If the server sends a blocklist, account->perm_deny gets overwritten by this code I deleted, which is already wrong, in my opinion, but it happens even if the server replies with an empty blocklist, which happened to me, which is even more wrong. (also, as far as i can tell, that if is pointless)
At pidgin/gtkprivacy.c:376 the initial block mode is selected from the dropdown based on account->perm_deny, so if the server sends a blocklist, the user always sees the blocklist block mode being selected

I thought about changing the if to if (account->perm_deny == PURPLE_PRIVACY_ALLOW_ALL) so only the default setting gets overwritten, but then if the user explicitly wants to allow all, it will still get overwritten incorrectly, so I just deleted the thing.
