IRC bot written in Zig.

Found while the IRC users tried to find bugs in the code base.
Currently the bot does not "hear" the commands of users, which means
that of the following conversation:
```
<jassob> helo, world!
<jassob> s/helo/hello/
```
the only heard messages in the backlog would be the first ("helo,
world!"), the substitution would be parsed and executed, but not added
to the backlog and hence not possible to update.
