Send the display name instead of the user name (matrix) (#1282)

* matrix: send the display name (the nickname in matrix parlance) instead of the user name

There is also the option UseUserName (already in use by the discord bridge) to turn back to the old behavior.

* matrix: update displayNames on join events

* matrix: introduce a helper.go file to keep matrix.go size reasonable
