[IRCServices] Services Protocol for InspIRCd 1.2

[Robin Burchell]

To clarify exactly what this does..

Each server has a unique ID (e.g. 000), and each user additionally has
their own ID (e.g. AAAAAA). The two are combined to make a unique
identifier which is then used network-wide for all server to server
traffic.

e.g.

:000AAAAAA KILL 001AAAAAA :spammer! get off the network

instead of
:Admin KILL spammer :spammer! get off my network.

Another example is that instead of KILLing users on nick collision, we
may simply force them to their UID. A useful feature for services
authors will be to do the same instead of rolling their own guest
nicks.

Further discussion on what this is and examples of problems it solves
can be found at http://www.inspircd.org/wiki/Development/UID
