Use RcBox for PurpleRequestCommonParameters
Also, stop returning the input from `purple_request_cpar_unref`.
That's not what `g_object_unref` does, and nothing uses the return value.
Also also, just do the cleanup directly instead of calling `purple_request_cpar_set_extra_actions(cpar, NULL);`.
Testing Done:
Ran `Request->Fields` from the demo protocol.

# Purple, Pidgin and Finch libpurple is a library intended to be used by programmers seeking to write an IM client that connects to many IM networks. It comes with support for Bonjour, IRC, and XMPP, among others and there are many more networks supported via [third party plugins](https://pidgin.im/plugins/). Pidgin is a graphical IM client written in C, which uses the GTK toolkit. Finch is a text-based IM client written in C, which uses [libgnt](https://keep.imfreedom.org/libgnt/libgnt). These programs are not endorsed by, nor affiliated with, any proprietary instant messaging company in any way. ## Contributors See AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT for the list of contributors. ## Building Pidgin uses [Meson](https://mesonbuild.com) as its build system. There is a long list of dependencies that is not currently documented here due to differences in package names across operating systems. We plan to fix this soon, if you have any suggestions on how to handle this, please let us know. You can quickly build Pidgin with the following commands: ``` meson setup build cd build ninja ninja install ``` There are quite a few options for the build that you can view by running `meson configure` in your build directory. You can specify the options when running meson like the following: ``` meson setup -Ddebug=true build ``` If you have already run `meson setup` you can use `meson configure`: ``` cd build meson configure -Ddebug=true ``` ## Running Currently Pidgin can not be run from a build directory, which means you must install it first. Once you've done that, you only need to run `pidgin3` or `finch3`. If it fails to launch you may need to run `ldconfig` as root. To get started, simply add a new account. If you come across a bug, please report it at: [issues.imfreedom.org/issues/PIDGIN](https://issues.imfreedom.org/issues/PIDGIN) ## Plugins libpurple, Pidgin, and Finch ship with a number of plugins, but you can find additional third party plugins at [pidgin.im/plugins](https://pidgin.im/plugins). ## Developing You can find more information about Pidgin development in the [development section](https://pidgin.im/development/) of our website.
