MoHadiShibli 200e2bfc0b Show who's signed in on each controller, and an Invite QR code ...

When the PS4 reports a user signed in on a controller, the service asks for
the user's name and adds it to the status as `user`. The PS4 may not have
finished signing the user in by then, so a failed look-up is retried every
half second for five seconds. The tile shows the name in place of
"Controller N" (the ring keeps the number), and the controller screen reads
"Controller 1 · Alex". Names are kept out of the log, since people post logs
in bug reports, and they go out cleaned: quotes and backslashes escaped, and
control characters or anything that isn't valid UTF-8 replaced, because a
browser drops the whole WebSocket on a text frame that isn't valid UTF-8.

An Invite panel, opened from a button next to the settings or from the menu,
shows the page's address as a QR code for friends to scan. The console makes
the code with the QR encoder the app already ships, from the address the page
reached it on, and sends the module grid; the page draws it as SVG, so it still
needs no libraries.

The gamepad picker's tooltip had the same "Controller 1 · Controller 1" doubling
the controller screen had; it now names the user too.
