#11390: Abilitiy to hide sensitive WHOIS information

 Most IRC clients will conceal your computer name/account name and/or allow
 you to set it yourself. In Pidgin however, your "Real Name" and "Username"
 are kept valid. This poses a minor security risk since it could allow an
 attacker to gain "fingerprinting" information about the users PC and
 account.

 I feel this should have an options menu for setting in Pidgins IRC
 settings.
