Description

Currently renames are never sent as part of history.

Currently also history messages are looked up by string target, so messages before (or after, depending) a rename won't be found.

Both parts should probably be fixed as part of the same operation. There's an open question over which channel name to send when replaying history around a rename (see https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues/532).

Done means rename events are included in history, lookups work across renames, and the channel-name behavior is resolved.
