Show an IRC listener user what their session sends from other clients (closes #179)

The relay dropped every PRIVMSG, NOTICE, JOIN, PART, NICK, QUIT, TOPIC,
MODE and KICK sent under the connection's own nick, so an IRC listener
connection never saw what its session did from another client. The
relay now drops nothing by nick. Instead, the service methods that fan
out a user's own command take the client whose queue to skip: the IRC
listener passes its own client, which has already written the echo, and
the HTTP API passes 0. Channel messages and PARTs now also go to the
sender's own session, so the HTTP handler no longer queues the
channel-message echo itself, SendChannelMessage no longer returns the
message's row ID, and neoirc-cli ignores the PART event for its own
part, which it has already shown.

-- Only the owner merges `next` into `main`.
-- A pull request that closes an issue has the title `Description (closes #N)`.
-- One logical change per commit.
-- Commit messages are in the imperative mood and short.
+- Follow CONVENTIONS.md exactly — it defines the architecture
+- All exported types, functions, methods, and vars must have doc comments
+- All packages must have a package doc comment
+- JSON tags use camelCase (not snake_case)
+- No magic numbers — use named constants
+- No inline error handling (`if err := ...; err != nil`) — use plain assignment
+- Blank line before every `return` statement
+- Blank line separating embedded fields from regular fields in structs
+- Blank imports must have a justification comment

+## Git Workflow
 
-- Follow `CONVENTIONS.md`.
-- Outside test files, every package has a package doc comment.
-- Outside test files, every exported type, function and variable has a doc
-  comment.
-- JSON tags are camelCase. The HTTP API's `last_id`, `pow_token` and

-- Prefer named constants to magic numbers. The `mnd` linter checks for them
-  outside test files.
-- No inline error handling such as `if err := f(); err != nil`. Assign the error
-  on its own line, then test it.
-- A `return` that follows another statement in its block has a blank line before
-  it.
-- A blank line between the embedded fields of a struct and its other fields.
-- Outside test files, every blank import has a comment saying why it is there.

 ## Architecture
 
-- The server uses `go.uber.org/fx` for dependency injection.
-  `cmd/neoircd/main.go` lists its `fx` providers, such as `db.New` and
-  `handlers.New`.
-- Application packages live under `internal/`, one package per concern.
-- `pkg/irc` holds the IRC command names and numeric reply codes.
-- The `web` package embeds the built web client.
-- Each exported `Handle…` method of `Handlers` returns an `http.HandlerFunc`.
-- A request struct is defined inside the method that decodes it.
-- The server uses the database only through the methods of `db.Database`.
-- The database migrations live in `internal/db/schema/` and are embedded with
-  `go:embed`.
-- The database is SQLite, through the pure Go driver `modernc.org/sqlite`.
+- Dependency injection via Uber fx — all components are fx providers
+- `internal/` for all application packages — one package per concern
+- Handlers return `http.HandlerFunc` using the closure pattern
+- Request/response structs defined inside handler closures
+- Models embed `models.Base` for database access to relation methods
+- Database migrations in `internal/db/schema/` — embedded via `go:embed`
+- SQLite by default (pure Go driver: modernc.org/sqlite)
 
 ## Testing
 
-- Prefer table-driven tests.
-- Use `testing.T` helpers, not assertion libraries.
-- A test file lives next to the code it tests and ends in `_test.go`.
-- The linter requires each test file to be in the package's external test
-  package, such as `handlers_test`. It allows `export_test.go` and files ending
-  in `_internal_test.go` in the package itself.
-- An `export_test.go` file gives the external tests access to the package's
-  unexported code.
+- Table-driven tests preferred
+- Use `testing.T` helpers, not assertion libraries
+- Test files live next to the code they test
+- `_test.go` suffix, same package for white-box testing
 
 ## Dependencies
 
-- The required libraries are listed in `CONVENTIONS.md` §1.
-- No new dependency without a reason given in the pull request.
-- Prefer dependencies written in pure Go, which build without cgo.
+- Required libraries are listed in CONVENTIONS.md §1
+- No new dependencies without justification
+- Pure Go preferred (no CGO)
