[IRCServices] losing access on nickchange

[Andrew Church]

     This is normal behavior.  It would be possible to check the access
levels for all identified nicks and use the highest access level found, but
I'm not sure what impact this would have on security or performance.  I'll
put this on the TODO list, but I'm not going to actually think about it
until at least 5.1.
