friend alias #128

If you alias someone on steam this is not synchronized to pidgin and vice versa. A way to turn this on would be nice. It should be off by default since pidgin friend aliases are local.

We only fetch the 'nickname' of a buddy from the server when the account first connects. There doesn't appear to be any way for us to set that back to the server

As you mentioned in #127 this may also be possible to fetch from /chat. It's also available while browsing the community pages and you can also set it by going to More > Add a nickname

Looking at libsteam.c it does seem like you are already using steamcommunity to accept and invite friends as they don't seem to be available in the api, so maybe it's possible to get and set nickname using a similar method as well?

Good point :)
