AW: [IRCServices Coding] session limit bug

[Andrew Church]

     There seems to be a lot of (mis)information floating around, so let me
clear things up:

     - There is NO WAY to resynchronize a desynched server, Services
included, without disconnecting, throwing away all old information, and
reconnecting.  In the case of Services, that means that logon news messages
get sent again, channel modes get reset, etc.  Whether the program restarts
itself or not is completely irrelevant to this.

     - Services is, on the other hand, already capable of recognizing users
who have identified for their nicknames across a restart (unless you
uncommented NoSplitRecovery in ircservices.conf).
