Description

As the title states let unregistered people choose their shown nickname, like its possible in etherpad-lite

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how guest identities are currently managed in the codebase, specifically the session or user object for unregistered users. Look for where the display name is set (e.g., from a form or default 'Anonymous'). Then implement a UI for guests to input a custom nickname and persist it (e.g., in session or local storage) for the duration of their visit.
