Add a "nickname" to rooms

[oliverhummel]

Some rooms (like the library) have a special meaning, which is hard to defer from the plain room number (like X123). So adding a "nickname" field to the rooms that could be read and shown for contact tracing will probably make the life of the contact tracer better.

This issue is only in part of technical nature. If the room names are altered to reflect the "nicknames" of rooms, new QR codes are required because the URL will get longer. This longer URL will be harder to enter manually for users.

Adding extra column to the table in the database has drawbacks too. A team member has to answer all mails requesting nicknames for rooms. Stake holders have to agree to the name and spelling of rooms. These nicknames than need to be entered into the DB.

This is why the team decided to focus on other, more important features in the future.

As just discussed with Frau S. there are currently only a handful of rooms at the HS that require such a nickname. Hence, a "quick and dirty" solution would be to add the field to the room class, add the nickname in the contact results (e.g. L114 (Bibliothek)) and add the nicknames to the DB manually. -> mightfixoverxmas ;-)

A "big" solution would of course require to modify the import and the format of the magic Excel sheet so that this is unrealistic right now.
