This is already handled amicably by the `Failing` -> `Connecting` flow.
Having this set in `handleRequest` throws things off, potentially
leading to the `Online` state change before the user has been populated.
This isn't really required as such, but feels more correct. There was no
reason for it to wait for the friend population to complete before
deeming things to be "online".
This allows for various components (like gameplay) to obtain a correct
username even if the API is not yet in a connected state. The most
common case is during startup, where a connection may not have been
established yet, but the user's username was restored from their config
file.
By making the change, local scores will now have the correct username
(although avatar etc. will be missing, which I think it fine) even if
the API is not yet connected. Previously, they would show up as "Guest".
All usages of this are made with the intention of showing data when an
api is going to eventually become available. In the case of a login
failure, components are also able to display a correct state.
With this change, it makes online components display in a more correct
state during startup or initial logging in phase.
