[IRCServices] akick not setting channel ban

[ongeboren]

I suspect that some of the irc servers in the network drop a ban
silently, resulting in services having this ban on their list, which
is desynched from the rest of the network in this case. I've seen
similar situations with old hybrid servers and other services, but who
knows..
