Subject: [PATCH] Add the # to RPL_ENDOFWHO for an unknown channel over HTTP
 (closes #249)

WHO over the HTTP API adds a missing # to the channel name, but the
unknown-channel path sent RPL_ENDOFWHO with the name as sent. A client
keyed on the channel name saw two spellings. Both paths now send the
name with the #.

Model: opus-5-5
