Context menu

On Discord, its very easy to tap on an username (on mobile clients) or right click on it, to open the context menu and choose an entry there, in order to paste his username into the text field.

That is useful, when you like to mention someone, without replying to a specific post of them. 

I attach a screenshot, to illustrate, which context menu I mean.

Add user menu that is opened via right-clicking/long-tapped on avatar

We can un-clutter our message context menu, which we had to share
with user actions. (Even though we only had one so far.) I added one new
user-specific action which allows you to quickly mention the user in
chat. Otherwise you would've had to copy their username or use the
completion menu.

It's convergent on mobile, it still has the hover indicator and it also
is available through the AuthorComponent.
