I'm not sure of the target audience of easy-ssb-pub, but this script will save the user from having to manually issue an sbot command on the server to set the pub name, which is definitely "easy".
This PR adds a startup step which checks for any "about" messages sent by this account. If no such messages exist, and $HOST is set, create an about message which sets the name = $HOST. Otherwise, do nothing.
If we don't do something like this, we should probably at least update the README to describe how you can set the name yourself.
