bridgev2: reconcile ghost profile drift during participant sync - #561
Merged

Conversation
A ghost whose display name or avatar is lost on the server stays stale forever, because the bridge trusts NameSet/AvatarSet and never re-writes an unchanged profile. During participant sync, compare the bridge's expected name and avatar against the server's current member content and re-push when they drift.

This has happened on our custom homeserver as a result of bugs, now fixed, this just allows bridges to self heal. It's also basically free as well since all the data is in place already.
