Unlike IM conversations chat rooms on virtually all networks need to
actually be created before being used, as such you cannot just create them
locally. You need to tell libpurple (and the prpl) to join the chat room
first, see server.c:serv_chat_join (and functions like
gtkblist.c:gtk_blist_join_chat for how it is used).
