Subject: [PATCH] accounts.contacts: fix eval error

You would encounter an eval error when a module (such as pimsync) would
try to access an attribute of `accounts.contacts.<name>.local`, since it
would default to `null`. The same problem was encountered in the
`accounts.calendar` module, and fixed in
2c157e22dcf2c08e38a95b557ba6785e882b8bc0 which has the same solution.

Closes #8258
