Make Network.Nick optional, default to the user's username. This
will allow adding a global setting to set the nickname in the
future, just like we have for the real name.

This is a mecanical change, which just lifts up the context.TODO()
calls from inside the DB implementations to the callers.
Future work involves properly wiring up the contexts when it makes
sense.
This allows users to set a default realname used if the per-network
realname isn't set.
A new "user update" command is introduced and can be extended to edit
other user properties and other users in the future.
TL;DR: supports for casemapping, now logs are saved in
casemapped/canonical/tolower form
(eg. in the #channel directory instead of #Channel... or something)
== What is casemapping? ==
see <https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#casemapping-parameter>
== Casemapping and multi-upstream ==
Since each upstream does not necessarily use the same casemapping, and
since casemappings cannot coexist [0],
1. soju must also update the database accordingly to upstreams'
casemapping, otherwise it will end up inconsistent,
2. soju must "normalize" entity names and expose only one casemapping
that is a subset of all supported casemappings (here, ascii).
[0] On some upstreams, "emersion[m]" and "emersion{m}" refer to the same
user (upstreams that advertise rfc1459 for example), while on others
(upstreams that advertise ascii) they don't.
Once upstream's casemapping is known (default to rfc1459), entity names
in map keys are made into casemapped form, for upstreamConn,
upstreamChannel and network.
downstreamConn advertises "CASEMAPPING=ascii", and always casemap map
keys with ascii.
Some functions require the caller to casemap their argument (to avoid
needless calls to casemapping functions).
== Message forwarding and casemapping ==
downstream message handling (joins and parts basically):
When relaying entity names from downstreams to upstreams, soju uses the
upstream casemapping, in order to not get in the way of the user. This
does not brings any issue, as long as soju replies with the ascii
casemapping in mind (solves point 1.).
marshalEntity/marshalUserPrefix:
When relaying entity names from upstreams with non-ascii casemappings,
soju *partially* casemap them: it only change the case of characters
which are not ascii letters. ASCII case is thus kept intact, while
special symbols like []{} are the same every time soju sends them to
downstreams (solves point 2.).
== Casemapping changes ==
Casemapping changes are not fully supported by this patch and will
result in loss of history. This is a limitation of the protocol and
should be solved by the RENAME spec.
This adds the `channel update` service command, which is used to set the
auto-detach, auto-reattach, and message relaying settings of a channel.
Of note is that currently the parser parses `#` as a comment, which
means any `channel update #foo ...` will actually need to be escaped to
`channel update "#foo" ...`
FlagSet.PrintDefaults uses reflection to construct a zero value, calls
.String on it, and compares the result with the current flag value to
detect zero-value flags. For stringPtrFlag, this would result in a
panic, as String() always dereferenced the first level of its **string.
Add another check so that both pointer levels are nil-checked.
This adds support for user create, a new service command only accessible
to admin users. This lets users create other users on the fly and makes
soju start the user routine immediately; unlike sojuctl which currently
requires closing soju, creating the user, and starting soju again.
This is preparatory work for creating new users from a service command.
This adds support for specifying specific service commands as
admin-restricted. Only admin users can run these commands. These
commands won't show up in the help when run from a non-admin
user, unless the user is requesting help for that specific command.
The user.updateNetwork function is a bit involved because we need to
make sure that the upstream connection is closed before re-connecting
(would otherwise cause "Nick already used" errors) and that the
downstream connections' state is kept in sync.

Some servers do not support TLS, or have invalid, expired or self-signed
TLS certificates. While the right fix would be toi contact each server
owner to add support for valid TLS, supporting plaintext upstream
connections is sometimes necessary.
This adds support for the irc+insecure address scheme, which connects to
a network in plain-text over TCP.
This is preparatory work for adding other connection types to upstream
servers. The service command `network create` now accepts a scheme in
the address flag, which specifies how to connect to the upstream server.
The only supported scheme for now is ircs, which is also the default if
no scheme is specified. ircs connects to a network over a TLS TCP
connection.
Some servers use custom IRC bots with custom commands for registering to
specific services after connection.
This adds support for setting custom raw IRC messages, that will be
sent after registering to a network.
It also adds support for a custom flag.Value type for string
slice flags (flags taking several string values).
On some IRC clients, NOTICE messages from a user which does not have a
user or host in its prefix (and therefore only have a Name, and look
like prefixes of servers), are treated as server notices rather than
user notices, and are treated differently. (For that matter, soju also
considers NOTICE messages from users with only a Name in their prefix as
special server messages). On most of these clients, NOTICE messages from
a user are formatted differently and stand out from the large flow of
incoming misceallenous server messages.
This fills the service user with fake User and Host values so that
NOTICE messages from it correctly appear as coming from a user. This
is particularly useful in the context of connection and disconnect
errors NOTICE messages that are broadcast from the service user to all
relevant downstreams.
