Subject: [PATCH] Make Appservice register and setup basic profile information.
 (#1086)

* Make Appservice register and setup basic profile information.

Basic Profile information being setting a display name if none exists.

* Add changeset information

* Relocate Profile logic to after initialisation.

* Clean up Appservice Bot Reg and Profile Set code

Co-authored-by: Gnuxie <Gnuxie@users.noreply.github.com>

* Workaround bug with ensureRegistered in matrix-appservice-bridge.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-bridge/issues/525

* Clarify that this is mostly dead code
