Properly follow nick changes and keep avatar #289

Open nimius-dev opened 2 months ago

nimius-dev commented 2 months ago

When a IRC user changes their nick with /nick, in the matrix room the ghost with the old nick leaves and a new ghost with the new nick joins. Any set avatars are therefore lost upon nick change.

A possible solution would be to identify an irc user by their host mask and let the ghosts change nicks if the irc user does so.
