[IRCServices] Services information in documentation

[Andrew Kempe]

I have not had the chance to go through all the documentation, but I think
most references have been removed. Unfortunately, there are numerous other
references to "EsperNet Services" that our beyond my control - such as
websites, software archives etc.
