* Join the federation of the given name. This will find the channel with the same name as the

* that channel (as opposed to just a regular member).
*
* <p>== Federate Names == A federation can optionally require that each federate have a unique
* name (RID option). If this is not the case, Portico will always ensure that federates do have
* unique names by modifying newly joining duplicates. If unique names are enforced and we try to
* join with an existing name, an exception is thrown.
*
* <p>== FOM Modules == If there are additional FOM modules, we attempt a dry-run merge first to
* identify any issues. Should that be successful, we join and then apply the changes to our local
* copy of the FOM. The Role Call semantics that executes outside of the connection after we join
* handles the job of dispersing the new module information to everyone else (who then also apply
* them locally).
