[IRCServices] 5.0.56: whoops, forgot something

[Andrew Church]

     I neglected to mention an important side effect of the changes in
password handling introduced in Services 5.0.56.  While the NickServ and
ChanServ REGISTER commands do not allow spaces in passwords, the SET
PASSWORD command did allow them prior to 5.0.56, so it is possible that
some people have spaces in their passwords; in this case, commands such as
RECOVER and DROP will no longer work.  This can be resolved by having the
user first identify for the nickname or channel, then use SET PASSWORD to
change the password to one that does not contain spaces.  (IDENTIFY
processing has been left alone for 5.0 for this reason--it will also be
changed in 5.1 to report a syntax error if a password with spaces is
given.)

     Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
