Yes, adding back the "other" contacts from google contacts as "other"
gnome contacts certainly makes sense. In fact, it seems pretty easy to
just make the current hack make the contact non-primary, rather than
hidden. Will do that.

However, favourites is very much not the right thing. We've talked about
adding favourites support to the Gnome Contacts UI before (to get a very
short list of common contacts), and its already availbile in e.g. the
android contacts UI, so we should sync it to that. We don't want to
overload it with a different meaning.
