identi.ca/laconi.ca group support is gone in lp:gwibber

Interesting:

If I start gwibber (rev 329), click on a group bang tag, it opens the new group tab correctly but fails to fetch the search results with the below error/traceback.

If I then quit gwibber and restart it, it remembers the grou tab as a generic search tab and thus fetches the results (but incorrect results since it is not limited by group).

traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/greg/src/projects/gwibber/gwibber.dev/gwibber/microblog/__init__.py", line 50, in get_data
    for message in method(client):
  File "/home/greg/src/projects/gwibber/gwibber.dev/gwibber/microblog/identica.py", line 179, in group
    yield SearchResult(self, data, query)
  File "/home/greg/src/projects/gwibber/gwibber.dev/gwibber/microblog/identica.py", line 99, in __init__
    self.sender = data["from_user"]
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/feedparser.py", line 200, in __getitem__
    return UserDict.__getitem__(self, realkey)
KeyError: 'from_user'

Same goes for #tags

Same here:

This is related to #364322, but they're separate issues. My branch for it address its issue. I started addressing this issue as a part of it, but I'll hold off and let it be handled in this bug.
