Clicking a user mention on a direct message should enable you to open a new direct message with that user

[marceloschmidt]

Description:

If I'm on a direct message and click on a user mention @username the User Info show up, but there's no button to open a direct message with that user. If you do the same on a channel or private group, it enables you to create a direct message with the user.

The current implementation checks if room type is direct message, then hides the button, assuming user is viewing the current DM's user info. It should check if the user info refers to the current user or some other mentioned user.

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.65.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a direct message with someone
2. Mention someone else
3. Click on the mentioned user; user info shows up on the right
4. There's no "Conversation" button to start a new direct message

Expected behavior:

I'd like to see a "Conversation" button to start a new direct message with the mentioned user
