When a user registers their account, their username part of their address should automatically be reserved as a nickname for the XMPP server's MUC service. External users should not be able to register names.

Currently, only local users can register their nicks at all. But we should then change it so that only a service account can register names. Otherwise someone could register a nick that will be someone else's username in the future (see access_register option for mod_muc).
