#12798: SILC customizable names

The SILC protocol plugin for pidgin contains a few unneeded information
leaks. For one, it uses your computer account's login name when connecting
without any option to configure that behavior. A slightly less
catastrophic problem is it also transmits your local hostname. Although
it's usually just "localhost," if it isn't that might be something the
user wants to specify differently.
So I went and patched the protocol plugin. I don't have monotone commit
access though so I'll have to just attach the patch here.
