Details

CHGOST is a new command that lets servers change the user and host of a participant without sending a part + join. This makes it easier to track the user on the client side, since it can be handled similar to a nick change and avoids system message spam.

I don't recall how easy this is to handle in IRC code, since I never really looked into how the user + host handling worked, or if it even exists. Even if we mostly ignore this information, we should still request the cap to reduce the system message and provide a more accurate description of what's actually happening.

Note that I don't think we even track the host right now. We do show it during a WHOIS response / in the tooltip though.
