Support passing of username via collaboration link

See original GitHub issue

I would like to integrate excalidraw using an iframe. Currently the user has to input his username manually in the collaboration window, when they enter the canvas via a collaboration link. Therefore, passing the user’s name inside the application as part of the collaboration link would be preferable.

Such a link could look as follows: https://excalidraw.com/#room=356b11958a1f15eaef46,T1xRd3fKREa5TS1YT7T1Vg?username=Tom

I think it’s reasonable. It won’t affect the package and will be implemented on the excalidraw.com level — unsure of the particulars yet. We should probably use location.hash as that’s what we’re currently using for everything (we have a few location.search in our codebase, but only for legacy reasons).

I support this. I am currently working on an integration (IFrame) to Jitsi. It would be nice if exaclidraw would support setting it via queryParam, similar to etherpad https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.8.13/#index_embed_parameters

Are you open for receiving a PR adding that functionality?
