++ for the "zombie" state (DISCONNECTING) on connections and using the
Chat_State_Gone state on channels

We have the same problem if the user joins a chatroom and then leaves it. In
this case the initiator is not the only handle the UI may want to inspect, so I
think InitiatorHandle or GetInitiatorHandle are not generic enough.

I suggest to add a method connection.HoldNewChannel()->nothing so that the UI
is guaranteed to be able to inspect all handles of the group until the UI call
connection.ReleaseNewChannel(o: channel)->nothing. The HoldNewChannel method
call must be done before receiving the NewChannel signal.
