Set up Dendrite-based IRC bridge about gitops HOT 5 OPEN

One of the considerations was to ensure that users from the Matrix side can still create and administrate channels on the IRC side. As far as I know, this is completely working with matrix-appservice-irc. I tested this by joining #_oftc_#testingchannelhello:matrix.org and was able to get admin permissions for that room.

I do not know how well actually registering the channel from the IRC side works using this method. I think it requires a manual message to ChanServ.

I would like to point out that the primary reason I'm comfortable moving to a second-gen solution is because this would act as a gateway from Matrix to our IRC server. The primary point of interacting with the community since I've been in Hashbang has been the IRC server and I'd like to keep that intact and never alienate that audience, but we're growing such a large Matrix audience at this point that I feel like a bridge that is directly incorporated into the protocol is now necessary so we're not abandoning Matrix users either.

Currently blocked on having to make a env => YAML replacement engine. I will try this next weekend.
