[IRCServices] Topic thing

[Strider]

Actually, you can make these fake users join a channel and make it appear to
services as though it actually joined. /operserv raw :nickname join
#channel. Even though services doesn't parse the command and know what you
are doing, the services are sending an actual join command from that fake
user to the ircd just as though a real user did it. It works quite well on
our Unreal 3.1.1.
