[IRCServices] Final call for comments

[Casey]

Hi Andrew

I tested the topiclock with an emtpy topic on lock running IRCServices
5.0.62 on the InspIRCd IRCServices 5.0 protocol.

ChanServ did remove the topic and changed the topic to empty - when a
user with no topic access set a topic using /topic #channel

The IRCServices own 5.1 InspIRCd protocol is not working properly as
ChanServ does not remove the topic and change it to empty on IRCServices
5.1pre9
