It is interesting you say this. I was recently doing the group chat
changes so that the join all happens in gossip-group-chat.c and I
realised that there is a join callback we specify with the join request
as well as a join signal. So there really is no need for both. Really
the join signal should be emitted with the reasons without the need for
a callback.

Regarding the "chatroom-contact-joined" signal, this is interesting,
because "joined" is not a property and if I recall, the signal would be
emitted from the backend, so I am not sure it really makes sense to have
the signals in the GossipChatroom module, typically you signal from
within the module itself, it might be weird to have the backend do the
signalling that way, not sure? Comments?

Also, I noticed that we have a "changed" signal for the GossipChatroom,
we should be able to use "notify" I think.
