[IRCServices] akick not setting channel ban

[Andrew Church]

     The only time ChanServ doesn't set a ban is when the same ban already
exists on the channel (as determined by find_ban() in channels.c).  It's
possible find_ban() has a bug; next time this issue occurs, save the ban
list from the channel and see if any bans are similar to the ban that
should be added for the user (for an autokick, this is the mask from the
autokill list).
