[Story] Use 'You' instead of user name to prefix message when sent from the current user

[bmarty]

Description

• As a user
• I want to distinguish messages I sent in a room (not DM) from messages sent by other people in the room list.
• So that You must be displayed instead of the user name

When logged in with benoitx, this is the rendering:

You must be displayed instead of benoitx.

For DM, there is no prefix, so no change needed.

Notes:

• the decision has been taken to implement this in Element Android, but I cannot find out where.
• WhatsApp and probably other apps are doing this.
• Waiting for product confirmation (CC @mxandreas , @amshakal ) before creating tasks in EXA and EXI.

Acceptance criteria

• You is displayed in the room list if the current user has sent the latest message.
