Send /me messages as status updates to Flowdock #8

Could these be sent as normal actions instead? When people in the web client say "/me jumps", it's rendered on the IRC side as "* user jumps", but when people on the IRC client say "/me jumps", it's rendered to other IRC users as "* user changed status to: jumps", which is a bit odd.

@doy Since IRC doesn't have the concept of status updates, and we want to provide that functionality, we went with mapping it to /me. If it becomes a major annoyance, we might change it later.

IRC does have a concept similar to status updates:

Failing that (as that would be global and not specific to a channel) appropriate your own CTCP other than ACTION to perform status updates. Using ACTION is really weird.
