A Warmenhoved patch from rwbarton to avoid showing the default instance name (PERSONAL) in Zephyr chats and to show the instance before the sender name for other instances. Fixes #3007 The functional change is two lines, but I cleaned up some string allocation mess at the same time. I don't use Zephyr, so this may not work. I should be getting access to a test account soon, though.
