Customize author's nick in webhook

[DarthGandalf]

E.g. make it ... (via IRC) to make it clear where the message comes from instead of just saying "Bot"

The "format.discord" option from config isn't used in the webhook mode, from what I can see in

discord-irc/lib/bot.js

Lines 597 to 602 in e0f2edf

	const username = _.padEnd(author.substring(0, USERNAME_MAX_LENGTH), USERNAME_MIN_LENGTH, '_');
	webhook.client.send(withMentions, {
	username,
	avatarURL,
	disableMentions: canPingEveryone ? 'none' : 'everyone',
	}).catch(logger.error);

In the non-webhook case I could make the bot's nick to be "IRC", so it's not the problem there

I don't believe we can change the "Bot" tag – that comes from Discord. You're right, though, that we don't use the format.discord option from the config with webhooks. I think it'd be best to make a new config, format.webhookName, if we were to introduce this, as format.discord is used to format whole messages (not just usernames) when it's applied.

This project is mostly in maintenance-only mode, so I won't be implementing this myself, but I'll mark it with a "new feature" and "help wanted" tag in case anyone wants to take it up. With an especially complete PR (including tests), I could merge a change to add this!
