When channel names on multiple servers coincide bitlbee will add "_" suffixes to the name until it is unique, which doesn't help to see which one is which.

A possible solution to this is to add an option that will change channel naming convention to #servername.channelname for all channels.

This commit adds automatic conversion of outgoing messages from irc-style
highlighting (e.g. "nick:") to discord's "<@id>" format.  New "mention_suffix"
option is added.
Outgoing mentions currently won't work with names containing spaces, but it
should be fine once issue #10 is fixed.

Fixes: issue #9.

I'd very much like all my channels prefixed with a Server name to help keep things organized. Though it might be nicer if it just included the first 3 characters of the server, to keep them shortish still

Another somewhat interesting solution to this problem would be to have the plugin generate dummy channels with the server names to separate server channels instead of making the channel names long.

That makes perfect sense, I wonder why I never thought of this. 418a7c7 adds the server_prefix_len option that lets you control this, see README for more details.
