jabber: Add "always_use_nicks" setting, for non-anonymous MUCs
Basically the same thing as github PR #55, which fixes trac bug 415, but this one conditionalized that behavior and uses the API introduced a few commits ago. I didn't think too much about the setting name and i'm open to changing it to anything else

+ Jabber groupchat specific. This setting ensures that the nicks defined by the other members of a groupchat are used, instead of the username part of their JID. This only applies to groupchats where their real JID is known (either "non-anonymous" ones, or "semi-anonymous" from the point of view of the channel moderators)

+ <para>
+ Enabling this may have the side effect of changing the nick of existing contacts, either in your buddy list or in other groupchats. If a contact is in multiple groupchats with different nicks, enabling this setting for all those would result in multiple nick changes when joining, and the order of those changes may vary.
