send payment to github user / register namehub

[dckc]

Another refactoring idea: "send payment to github user" contract and front-end, leaning on the NameHub api: what you do with your github login is to claim a payment. Or more generally: E(githubNames).update(username, E(namesByAddress).lookup(givenAddress)).

And until you register, the contract holds payments in escrow.

The same pattern should work to integrate other naming systems as on-chain namehubs: discord, keybase, email, fediverse, twitter, ...

not to mention spritely petnames, which is where my brain was when I came up with this. Here's hoping for time to explore interop with OCapN and embedding Jessie in scheme.

idea:

• E(socialHub).lookup('github.com', 'bob')
• E(socialHub).lookup('discord.com', 23432423)
