Bug Description

Pulled out from https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/net-relay/+merge/332386

Since the net relay can measure ping to all players, it can identify "black sheeps" that lack the game. The host (or even better all players) of the game should be able to see this information somewhere in-game and the host can decide to kick a player/observer because of this.

The natural place for this would be in the chat window - e.g. we could add a list of participants in the chat window in game and add ping times as green/yellow/red indicators next to it.

A list of participants would be awesome in any case. Especially if the username gets pasted into the editbox if you click on one - that will make whispering easier too.
