docs: move the IRC channel away from Freenode

Due to the recent events at Frenode [0], the channel has become a bit
unreliable (much spammed), and users have started to move away already,
as quite a few other projects have moved their IRC presence away from
Freenode.

There are a few alternatives. The first to spring to mind, is the new
Libera.Chat network [1], managed by the previous Freenode staff, so we
could expect quite a good experience there. However, it is a very young
network. The second well known alternative is the long-established OFTC,
which has been very reliable in its 20 years of existence.

So, let's move to OFTC, just because it has a track-record of robustness
(which Libera.Chat still has to build, for being young).

Note: there are a lot of other IRC networks, some very good too, but we
probably would be much off-topic on most of them.
