displayname_template has no effect once again

[3hhh]

#442 got back for me since a few months back (still present in 0.7.5):

In /matrix/mautrix-whatsapp/config/config.yaml I have:

network:
  device_name: mautrix-signal
  displayname_template: '{{or .ContactName .ProfileName .PhoneNumber}} (Signal)'

However the display names are equal to the profile name without the (Signal) suffix and never change.
A similar configuration for another bridge works just fine.

Displayname template changes are only applied when the name is synced for some other reason (like an incoming message)

Yes, I know. However I recieved quite a lot of messages during the last few months. So sync is maybe broken? Idk. I'd say the suffix should at least appear.

Ah, I just realized that the display names are fine. It's just the room names which aren't updated. So it's a duplicate of #548.

I don't mind defining the room names myself. However it's not coherent with other mautrix bridges, which update the room names as well. Probably a config option would be optimal.
