31356	Update IRC links in documentation.	Adam Johnson	Hasan Ramezani	"There are a bunch of links and mentions of irc://irc.freenode.net in the Django documentation. Many people don't have an IRC client set up so sending them to irc:// protocol links isn't so much use. Also the official endpoint to connect to is chat.freenode.net these days - irc.freenode.net is a CNAME to it.

I think if we updated the documentation to point to the freenode ""chat"" page it would be the most use: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/chat . This includes a link to the webchat interface as well as configuration instructions for connecting with an IRC client."
