feat: add traditional IRC wire protocol listener (closes #89) (#94)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 5s

## Summary

Adds a backward-compatible IRC wire protocol listener (RFC 1459/2812) that allows standard IRC clients (irssi, weechat, hexchat, etc.) to connect directly via TCP.

## Changes

### New package: `internal/ircserver/`

- **`parser.go`** — IRC wire protocol message parser and formatter
- **`server.go`** — TCP listener with Fx lifecycle integration
- **`conn.go`** — Per-connection handler with registration flow, PING/PONG, welcome burst
- **`commands.go`** — All IRC command handlers (JOIN, PART, PRIVMSG, MODE, TOPIC, KICK, WHOIS, etc.)
- **`relay.go`** — Message relay goroutine that delivers queued messages to IRC clients in wire format

### Modified files

- **`internal/config/config.go`** — Added `IRC_LISTEN_ADDR` environment variable
- **`internal/handlers/handlers.go`** — Broker is now injected via Fx (shared with IRC server)
- **`cmd/neoircd/main.go`** — Registered `broker.New`, `ircserver.New` as Fx providers
- **`pkg/irc/commands.go`** — Added `CmdUser` and `CmdInvite` constants
- **`README.md`** — Added IRC Protocol Listener documentation section

### Tests

- Parser unit tests (table-driven, round-trip verification)
- Integration tests: registration, PING/PONG, JOIN, PART, PRIVMSG (channel + DM), NICK change, duplicate nick rejection, LIST, WHOIS, QUIT, TOPIC, MODE, WHO, LUSERS, MOTD, AWAY, PASS, CAP negotiation, unknown commands, pre-registration errors
- Benchmarks for parser and formatter

## Key Design Decisions

- **Optional**: Listener is only started when `IRC_LISTEN_ADDR` is set
- **Shared infrastructure**: Same DB, broker, and session system as HTTP API
- **Full bridge**: IRC ↔ HTTP messages are interoperable
- **No schema changes**: Reuses existing tables
- **Broker as Fx dependency**: Extracted from handlers to be shared

## Supported Commands

Connection: NICK, USER, PASS, QUIT, PING/PONG, CAP
Channels: JOIN, PART, MODE, TOPIC, NAMES, LIST, KICK, INVITE
Messaging: PRIVMSG, NOTICE
Info: WHO, WHOIS, LUSERS, MOTD, AWAY, USERHOST
Operator: OPER
