Add support for WHOWAS command. #4

Open mana-sys opened 5 years ago

mana-sys commented 5 years ago

Implementation details:

for each nickname, keep a vector of history structs to keep track of nickname history
a GHashTable will maintain a mapping from nickname to nickname history
On client disconnect, the current (top) entry in the struct is marked inactive
If client reconnects, then the (top) entry in the struct will be re-marked as active

Problems:

might have to allocate new struct for every time someone takes a username
