[IRCServices] Suggestion

Just an idea:

Make the KILLCLONES take multiple commands.

Especially with irresponsible admins out there, you have all these script
kidlets out there bouncing off badly-configured proxies and routers out
there, even if it's just one user per IP, it'd be VERY helpful to be able
to clear out a shitload of users in fewer commands.

E.g.  Do a /names on a channel if they're flooding a channel, then with
each line, do a /msg operserv killclones (nick list), and repeat until
you've cleared all the losers out.

That way, I can cut the load of stuff I have to send from my
(potentially-severely-flooded) client.
