Subject: [PATCH] [Client] Send game invites from the user context menu via a
 private message
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The user context menu gains an "Invite to Game" submenu listing the
inviteable games in the room (the inviter's own games, honoring the
buddy-only setting). Picking one opens a private message to the target
user with a cockatrice://joingame link naming the game, so the target
gets a clickable invite instead of a raw URL. Multi-game rooms offer a
picker; a single inviteable game sends directly. Sending a message to
an offline user no longer swallows the draft — it reports that the
user is offline and keeps the typed text.
