Put the nick in the window title

Who you are on a server was in Settings and nowhere else, which is a
screen away from every screen you actually use — and two windows of this
client were a pair of identical "frq"s in the switcher, told apart by
opening them.

The title follows the nick now: "frq — nandi" once connected, a bare
"frq" until then, since before a connection there is no nick, only the
box on the connect screen. It is polled beside the window width and for
the reason that one is: the title belongs to the window rather than to
the tree, so no render puts it there. Twice a second is far oftener than
a nick changes, and a string compare is what a tick costs when it hasn't.

The chats list says it too, where the eye already is.

Needs jolt-native 5adddc7 for `vidya/set-title!`.
