[IRCServices] Services Protocol for InspIRCd 1.2

[Andrew Church]

Hmm.  This is certainly an interesting (and useful) feature, but it may
be incompatible with the design of Services, which assumes (among other
things) that prefixes and command targets are nicknames.  I'll give it
some more thought when I have time, but I may not be able to support
this.
