#13546: IRC uses wrong context for part messages

 When someone leaves a channel Pidgin says:

 [nick] left the room (quit: [quit message]).

 It should say:

 [nick] has quit (quit message).

 Saying that someone has left the room when in fact they quit is like
 saying someone has stopped playing cards when in fact they have died.

 Of course they have stopped playing cards, they're dead.

 It's unnecessary to say that they have left the room because they have
 quit, and thus inherently they have left the room.

 On a more practical note:  If the message says that they have left when in
 fact they have quit, it is difficult to determine systematically if the
 user has left the channel or quit.
