           Summary: Channel.Interface.NamedChatroom: add
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: telepathy-spec

We should stop using handles for chatroom names - they're not common enough in
the API to justify the extra complexity.

Proposed migration path:

* add a NamedChatroom interface with an immutable Room property (e.g.
Room="#telepathy"), and an optional immutable Server property (e.g.
Room="badgers", Server="conference.jabber.org"); set the Room property from the
TargetID or vice versa

* migrate the awkward chatroom properties onto the NamedChatroom interface, or
the Text interface, or some separate interface

* optionally, add a Roles interface for op/voice/owner/etc.

* as part of the Telepathy 1.0 API break (Bug #23148), change the TargetHandle
of chatrooms to 0, so only the Room property identifies the channel
