AW: [IRCServices] Topic thing

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

Services cannot know that a fake user via the raw NICK command is a
user of it's own, nor can it see that this user has forcibly joined a
channel.

Services Server is not an ircd. It does use the list of channels the
way the ircd does. By using raw, you do so as if the services server
was a normal server and a user in it is joining a channel. That information
is available for the rest of the network, but not the origin.
Services does not parse the content of the raw command.

This results in services resetting the topic, for it does not know
that someone is already in the channel. Because that "someone" also
exists due to the raw NICK.
