The server holds interests only for the session that set them, so a client
that does not re-send its list comes back from a reconnect with none. That
is why Nicotine+ sends its whole list at every login, and why it lowercases
each item before sending — the server matches them case-insensitively, so
two spellings would otherwise be held as two interests.
Ours now keeps the list, in one spelling, and puts it back on the wire when
a session starts; an interest set before there is a connection is kept
rather than dropped. A room's ticker board is also let go when we leave the
room, since the server sends the whole board again on the next join.
