#3007: Improve display of instance name in zephyr classes (group chat)

Reporter: rwbarton | Type: patch
Status: new | Priority: minor
Component: libpurple | Version: 2.1.1

The instance name is often used to group together messages on the same
topic when there are multiple on-going conversations in the same zephyr
class. For lower-traffic classes, the instance is usually left at the
default, "PERSONAL". I would like to change the formatting of messages
received from a zephyr class from the current
username instancename:
to
[instancename] username:
because it visually aligns messages sent to the same instance and
associates the sender more closely with the message. Furthermore, an
instance of "PERSONAL" should not be displayed, so that zephyr classes
resemble group chats in other protocols when instances are not in use.
I've included a patch which produces this behavior.
