Make bots able to join other channels on command

[MasterDuke17]

They should be started there.

Depending on how soon the 6lang re-write happens, this might be as simple as switching to Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable (https://metacpan.org/pod/Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable), which has a Join module (but also many more dependencies).

To clarify: I don't really care if the bots can join other channels on command. I'm just going through old bugs and the bots are useful to make tests for those that are already fixed.

I just don't want to spam #perl6-dev with bot use and wanted the bots in #zofbot too.

[MasterDuke17]

I could (at least temporarily) start them in #zofbot for you. Is that on irc.freenode.net?

[zoffixznet]

yeah

Instead we can just allow private messages and that will be it.

My logic about private messages is the following: given that RESTRICTED setting does pretty much nothing, anybody can submit any kind of crap in an attempt to make fun of my server. At this moment, the bot is not even running in an LXC container, so I am a bit worried (it does run as a separate user, but that is often not very helpful).
So right now if somebody is willing to do crap, then he kinda has to do it in public. Which probably reduces the desire to experiment with it.

Of course, the current setup is non-ideal and we will work on it. Also, the issue will probably go away once we move it to hack, which is something I was planning to do for a long time. The need for the move gradually emerges as I'm running out of space, so I think that the move will happen really soon.

By the way, what about LXC on hack? :)

Blocked by #25.

I feel like rejecting this in favor of #122.
