[Twisted-Python] Another IRC patch.

[screwtape at froup.com]

While developing my twisted.im bot (new this week! database access and
an infobot-style plugin!) I've come up against two seperate
annoyances. This patch fixes both of them.

Number 1: the IRC protocol defines (among other things) two message
types - privmsg and notice. They are identical in every respect except
that a notice must not be automatically replied to. Currently,
twisted.protocol.irc.IRCClient maps notice onto privmsg, which is 
dangerous but acceptible, because you're supposed to subclass
IRCClient anyway.

However, twisted.im.ircsupport subclasses IRCClient and does not
override the 'noticed' method, so all twisted.im clients cannot tell
the difference between a privmsg and a notice. This is really not a
good thing, especially for an IM bot like mine. The attached patch
fixes this in a brute force manner by making twisted.im.ircsupport
drop all notices on the floor.

Number 2: The IRC protocol defines a certain bunch of commands that
the server can send the client. twisted.protocol.irc.IRCClient calls
self.irc_COMMAND to handle an incoming command 'COMMAND', and if no
such method exists, it calles self.irc_unknown.

twisted.im.ircsupport by default prints an error message for each
unknown command it recieves. Slashnet in particular seems to like to
send a lot of them, and it clutters up my screen. This patch simply
comments out the print statement and adds a 'pass'.
