Bug Description

Cable should allow changing your nickname by clicking it, or provide any other easy and obvious way to change the nick for the current network. Right now it's hidden deep into settings, which is very cumbersome because IRC nicks are often used to indicate status (since there's no status string in IRC).

My idea was to show a popup when clicking the username that allows you to change the nick, away status and possibly some other stuff.

As an alternative you can use: /nick <new_nick>, until this has been implemented.

Changed in cable:
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → Medium
Changed in cable:
milestone: none → 0.2

For status I'd just plug into the system indicator. It's handled by indicator-messages nowadays but we can strip it back to IM status indicator which it once was.
