Subject: [PATCH] Fix the sentences a fresh read of README.md failed

A fresh read of README.md on next, sentence by sentence against
the rules on https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/neoirc/issues/190 and the
code, failed one sentence. The IRC listener bullet on PASS after
registration ("answers a password of the wrong length with a
NOTICE, not ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS (461), and a stored password with a
NOTICE too") needs a second reading to see that "a stored password"
means the case where the password is accepted. It is now two short
sentences: the NOTICE on success first, then the NOTICE instead of
461 on a wrong length. Both facts match handlePassPostReg and
checkPasswordLength in internal/ircserver. Every other sentence
passed; nothing else is changed.
