Description

Sometimes users use their nick with different capitalisation, or there are one or more underscores appended when there's a nick collision (multiple clients, reconnect etc). It would be nice if those nicks would use the same colour in the client.

This could be done by converting the nick to all-lowercase (or all-uppercase) and stripping all trailing underscores before calculating the hash.

There are more possible nick variations than those two (e.g. prepended numbers in brackets), but I think the mangling has to stop somewhere...

Fixes #572 - changes to nick coloring

and ignored trailing underscores.

Personally I think a saner approach would be to just hash the usermask without the nick. That hardly ever changes.
