Description

The room names you are invited to could be better. They now look like the same (because the important part is at the end of the name)

They look the same when the name is truncated because they both start with who created the mjolnir.

Also allow the user to set the display name of their mjolnir, but warn against identifying themselves in the name (so they don't become a harassment target).

Research direction

Start by tracing the mjolnir provisioning flow and the code that generates the management and policy room names. Check how a user-configurable mjolnir display name could be stored and surfaced, then confirm that names remain distinguishable when truncated and that identifying-name warnings are shown.
