M1 step 5: IRC App

- Chat: header (Buffer n/N, unread elsewhere, topic or connection
  state), wrapped hh:mm <nick> lines (own in accent, Mentions green,
  info grey), input line; Tab cycles Buffers, Fn+Up/Down scrolls back,
  Enter sends, Back leaves while the IRC Service keeps running
- /settings: server form (host, port, TLS, self-signed pinning, nick,
  SASL, NickServ, auto-join); Save & reconnect restarts the session
- Opening the App starts the IRC Service; viewing a Buffer clears its
  unread count; IrcSession gains a revision counter for redraws
