Marcus Hoffmann d1e6d7845b docs/website/support.html: document irc channel permission changes
The #buildroot IRC channel recently changed from only allowing
registered users to join to allowing anyone to join but only allowing
registered users to talk in the channel. This still avoids the spam
problem on IRC while allowing an exception for users bridged from
matrix.org. These already have a username registered on the matrix side
and thus similar properties as a registered IRC user/nick.

The commands to set these options were:

* Set +q on all unregistered nicks: ~/mode #buildroot +q $~a~ this lets
  people join but they can't talk
* Set exempt on matrix hosts: ~/mode #buildroot +e $x:matrix.org~

<p>The Buildroot IRC channel is <a href="irc://irc.oftc.net/#buildroot">
#buildroot</a>, hosted on OFTC. If you do not have an IRC client, you can
use the <a href="https://www.oftc.net/WebChat/">OFTC web interface</a>. The
channel is also bridged to matrix as <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#_oftc_#buildroot:matrix.org">
#_oftc_#buildroot:matrix.org</a>.
When asking for help on IRC, share relevant logs or pieces of code using a code
sharing website.</p>
<p>Note that due to excessive spamming on IRC, you can only talk in the
channel if you are a registered user with
<a href="https://www.oftc.net/Services/">OFTC NickServ</a>
service. Follow the instructions to register as a user with a password,
and then join the <code>#buildroot</code> channel.</p>
