Ellipsis: Set msg nick indent + ellipsis based on user nick

Luke Jones requested to merge flukejones/polari:master into main

The length of the users nick now controls the ellipsis and total indent of nick-to-message in the message display buffer.

  • user nick change redraws current buffer to adjust to new length+indent
    • this only happens if the user changes their nick
  • user entry box indent set by msg display indent
  • final indent set by max between users nick width or average char width multiplied by min char count (currently 12)

Addresses long-standing bugs bgo#762078 and bgo#765229

The end result should now be quite satisfactory to see in action.
