[IRCServices] smart expiration system

[Craig McLure]

although slightly complex, i like this idea.. We occasionally have users who have been on our network for years go on holiday for 2months, and find their nickname in someone elses possesion.

So i like it :D

>(1) A nickname/chan that is registered for <12 months:  1*30+5       not

>(2) A nickname/chan that is registered for >12 months:  2*30+5       not 
>used days before expire
>(3) A nickname/chan that is registered for >24 months:  3*30+5       not 
>used days before expire
>(4) A nickname/chan that is registered for >36 months:  6*30+5       not 
>used days before expire
>(5) A nickname/chan that is registered for >48 months:  8*30+5       not 
>used days before expire
>(6) A nickname/chan that is registered for >60 months:  10*30+5     not used 
>days before expire
>(7) A nickname/chan that is registered for >72 months:  12*30+5     not used 
>days before expire
