[IRCServices] Little remote WHOIS formal bug

[John Binder]

It was Unreal ,but it is not important. I mean that remote whois reply in
services is incomplete (/whois nick nick). Try to do a '/whois nick nick' on
a remote server. (The best if it is done by a raw telnet connection) And
then '/whois chanserv chanserv' for example and see the differences between
them. (numeric 311)
