Description

If a user with a clashing name leaves a room, we should probably stop disambiguating any remaining ones which previously clashed.

Split out from element-hq/element-web#468

Research direction

Start by reading the split-out context in element-hq/element-web#468 and locate the client code that tracks room-name disambiguation. Reproduce a room where clashing users are present, then have one leave. Done means the remaining users are no longer disambiguated after the departure, with the relevant client tests updated or verified.
