Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
If you change your nickname in the bridged room only by `/roomnick` command your nickname stays the same on the XMPP side. Even if you leave and join the room again. If a user mention you in XMPP MUC you won’t receive any notification. I didn’t test what will happen if you change your nickname globally, maybe it also wouldn’t work, don’t know.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Change the local nickname in the room on XMPP MUC side too.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
None.
**Additional context**
None.

Research direction
Start by tracing handling of the `/roomnick` command and the bridge's XMPP MUC room operations. Verify how a local nickname change is represented on the XMPP side, then confirm completion by checking that mentions use the updated nickname after changing it and rejoining the room.
