To really fix bug #33048 we need to be able to do two things:

 1. change your nickname in an XMPP MUC.
 2. join an XMPP with a specific nickname.

I've implemented this using a method and a property:

Chan.I.Group.SetOwnNickname(s): simply sets your own nickname in the channel if
the protocol supports it. The nickname is changed when SelfHandleChanged is
fired. This fixes #1.

Conn.I.RoomNickname.DRAFT.DefaultNickname: s, rw: a DBus property connection
manager property (so it can be persistent). This fixes #2 by having a global
nickname that is used when you join rooms. If it's the empty string then gabble
will make up the nickname like it's been doing for years.

Neither of these will fix the case of you wanting different nicknames for
different XMPP MUCs which you want set when you join them. tbh I think we
should fix that when/if we need to.

Whaddya think?
