Irccd: finish custom IRC library, closes #581
Finally remove the lovely libircclient that has been used since the
beginning of irccd back in 2013.
Several issues made the choice of developing a custom IRC library:
- libircclient requires select(2) system call and works in procedural
paradigm which is incompatible with our Boost.Asio main loop,
- there was no way in the libircclient to detect custom message like
PING to handle dead servers, this required to bundle the library
within the application,
- the library use static output buffer which requires to keep an
internal queue of commands that we flush at each iteration.
