Bug Description

[Impact]
Annoying, unnecessary crash report pop up

[Test Case]
I don't really have a test case for this as I'm not sure how to trigger an EDS timeout.
Make sure the new version of gnome-contacts doesn't appear in the Errors bucket for this crash:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/lib/gnome-contacts/gnome-contacts-search-provider%3A5%3Acontacts_ensure_eds_accounts%3Acontacts_search_provider_construct%3Acontacts_search_provider_new%3Acontacts_search_provider_app_real_dbus_register%3Ag_application_impl_attempt_primary

[Regression Potential]
The fix is a one-line upstream change to emit a warning instead of an error upon a timeout communicating with evolution-data-server.

The fix is part of gnome-contacts 3.20.0 so it's in yakkety and other GNOME 3.20 distros.

It has been a week and neither new version of gnome-contacts 3.8.3-1ubuntu1.1 or 3.18.1-1ubuntu3 shows up on the link in the test case. I'm going to go ahead and mark this verified then.
