changeset 27689:1082e1c25b30

Deprecate multiple chats having the same name and complain in the log. I didn't remove it outright for two reasons: 1. Out-of-tree prpls currently use it that way. 2. This is going to affect logs (currently they're either all saved to the same file(s)/folder(s) or it fails miserably, I'm unsure).
