Show contact nickname in tooltip

Description

Since now the contact's nickname can be shown in the roster if there is no custom name set, I would like to still be able to see the contact's nickname easily even if I have set a custom name. I'd like to see it in the tooltip. I have created a small patch which does this, though I don't know how well I've implimented it, it puts their set nickname after the set nickname if they differ.

doesn't that make huge tooltips ? I know MSN users like huge and unreadable nicknames ...

Ok, here is the same patch with some cleanups and a size limit.

Here I set it to 250 char on one line (shown_name + 250). Status message limit is 300.

With my msn gateway, I don't see nickname changes immediately, but only at next login (of me, and maybe of contact too).

Do we want this in trunk ?

Replying to Jim++:

And, I suppose it's normal according to what xep 0172 say.

I would vote to not include that: Nickname is usefull to determine who you're talking to. If you manualy set one, you're recognize who it is, no need to see the one from XEP-0172.

If you really want it, open information window.

Will not be included. Code here should work for those who really want. One day, a plugin I guess.
