IRCv3.1

[rakiru]

Some of this stuff is needed for other features, so here goes:

Base Extensions

• Capability Negotiation
• multi-prefix Extension
• sasl Extension

Optional Extensions

• account-notify Extension
• away-notify Extension
• extended-join Extension
• tls Extension

There is already the beginnings of CAP in there (to add SASL support), but it needs fleshed out into a proper system rather than a hack to get one feature working. Obviously SASL is also implemented, but will need tweaked a little when CAP support gets changed.

multi-prefix is the only other base extension, and it's very useful anyway. extended-join and account-notify are the two main optionals that we need, but away-notify would allow us to extend our API for IRC users, and perhaps let us consider a generic away/inactivity API (Mumble has an idle timer, we can implement client-side inactivity for servers/protocols without support, but this is a different discussion).

I see no use for tls given that we support specifying SSL in the config already.

There is nothing in IRCv3.2 that we especially need right now, so it can go in a future ticket.
