FunctionClauseError if the service name is an atom #2

Description

@AlphaHydrae

Hi,

Your service initialization example (and maybe others) cause the following error in my application:

** (Mix) Could not start application my_app: MyApp.Application.start(:normal, []) returned an error: shutdown: failed to start child: MyApp.MyService
    ** (EXIT) an exception was raised:
        ** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in Phoenix.PubSub.direct_broadcast/5
            (phoenix_pubsub 2.0.0) lib/phoenix/pubsub.ex:218: Phoenix.PubSub.direct_broadcast(:nonode@nohost, Dispatch.PubSub, :my_service, {:join, #PID<0.4392.0>, %{node: :nonode@nohost, phx_ref: "Fg2eyx5VmOh4FdwB", state: :online}}, Phoenix.PubSub)
            (dispatch 0.4.0) lib/dispatch/registry.ex:235: anonymous fn/4 in Dispatch.Registry.add_joins/3

            (phoenix_pubsub 2.0.0) lib/phoenix/tracker/shard.ex:294: Phoenix.Tracker.Shard.put_presence/6

I am referring to this example:

def init(_) do
  :ok = Dispatch.Service.init(type: :uploader)
  {:ok, %{}}
end

I am assuming it is caused by the guards on phoenix_pubsub's direct_broadcast function, which specifies when is_binary(topic).

It seems to work fine if the service name is a binary and not an atom, e.g. Dispatch.Service.init(type: "my_service") instead of Dispatch.Service.init(type: :my_service).
