Publish IRC channel contents on MQTT topic

[chotee]

Since we have a IRC bot, lets publish the IRC contents to a MQTT topic so that other processes can pick up on it without having to run a bot on IRC. Since messages on the IRC are publicly available anyways, this should not be an issue. Private message to the bot should not be pushed to this MQTT topic.

Shall I just pick a path/topic, or do you have a suggestion?

"irc/techinc" ?

This is now partially implemented, but I need to make sure it sends the text to the right channel/topic.

The MQTT message for a IRC message contains the keys: "user" and "who" where the message is in "who". Which seems a bit odd. See this example:
irc/techinc {"user":"Chotee","who":"Wizzup: where do I submit bug-reports for the spacephone?"}
irc/techinc {"user":"Wizzup","who":"https://github.com/techinc/spacephone/issues"}
Maybe rename "who" to "message"
Since there's no "type" in the messages being send, I'll have to look at the set of keys to know what type it is.. but then, with the "who" that doesn't make much sense.

There's no message for "quit" IRC events. having that would help to identify the top channel bouncer...
