[IRCServices] Clarification with unreal.c

[DeadNotBuried]

if you change the line as stated you will break support in services for the
channel owner flag. as services connects to a server it talks to the ircd as
a server not as a client, and the unreal 3.2 protocol uses * as a chan owner
flag between SERVERS, and & IF compiled to support the new flags for
CLIENTS, or just the old @ IF NOT compiled for the new flags for CLIENTS..
it's not recommened to change any of those types of flags in services
packages, or even IRCd's themselves unless you know how the protocol works.
