[IRCServices Coding] SET RESTRICTED, and possibly AKICK flaw

[Andrew Church]

     The most likely possibility (on Services' side) is that the channel
in question has an extended exception that doesn't include a usermask,
such as c: or r:.  To be honest, I'm at a loss at what to do about these,
especially since Unreal allows modules to add further types; for 5.1 I'm
half-inclined to just forbid extended bans/exceptions entirely (by
clearing anything that users try to set), but I'd be interested in hearing
other ideas.
