Expanding the documentation

[Connor Imes]

There is already some documentation available for IRC, including
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChatHowto
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi

Perhaps we could expand on these if you have any specific information or
topics that you want added.
