Include Project Name in Activity/Status Messages

Presently the Activity messages on the dashboard are of the format:

<user> pushed <number> changesets to <repo> <time>

Zach Burlingame pushed 4 changesets to dev_master about an hour ago

If you have similarly (or identically) named repos in different projects, this makes the dashboard view rather ambigious.
Since "projects" are used to group repositories in HgLab, it would be nice if status/activity messages included the project name in addition to the repository name for additional context on those pages which are not already project specific.

For example:

<user> pushed <number> changesets to <project> - <repo> <time>

Zach Burlingame pushed 4 changesets to CLogger - dev_master about an hour ago

In our workflow, we usually have dev/master, qa/master, and stable/master and then separate per-user repositories to facilitate things such as code reviews before items are merged into the 'master' repo. This allows users to utilize the centralized repositories for sharing and review code without making a mess of a single shared master repo and named branches. Ideally, there would be the concept of repository groups within a project, but that is a different feature request! In the meantime, I'm using dev_master in place of dev/master.
