display the hostname a user is logged in on #766

Story: As a support person I would like to be able to see on which host a user chatting with me via Zulip is logged in to. This information is important for me in subsequent support steps. Having worked with Jabber clients before, I am used to having the information of the user's hostname.

Concerns: Sending the hostname should be disabled by default due to privacy concerns. This means there needs to be a configuration option per user.

Technical thoughts: Electron supports os.hostname(), so sending the hostname along with the user's status should be possible. I guess this also touches the server component and would need some extension there as well.

I suppose this would only be possible if the user is using the desktop app and not via browser.

sebastianelsner commented 5 years ago

Yes, I guess browsers do not support this.

@sebastianelsner can you attach a screenshot of how it looks in the Jabber client?

sebastianelsner commented 5 years ago

I have added the places as they would transfer from Psi jabber client.
