    [www][docs] Remove last mentions of IRC (#139076) · 7548cec1
    Aaron Ballman authored
    It's the end of an era. The IRC channel was previously where the
    community gathered to discuss technical topics but is now a ghost town
    where the primary activity is moderators (me) kickbanning the same
    individual dozens of times a day for CoC violations and the secondary
    activity is telling the occasional person to come to Discord for help.
    The number of people engaging on IRC for the community's intended
    purposes seems to be roughly one person a month.
    
    So this removes all remaining mentions of IRC from our documentation so
    that it no longer appears to be an "official" channel for communicating
    with the community. It also removes IRC handles from the various
    maintainers lists, since those would stand out as confusing
    anachronisms.
    
    The IRC channel topic already recommends people come to the Discord
    server. There is no way to "shut down" an IRC channel such that it no
    longer exists, so the channel will continue to exist on OFTC, but will
    be unmoderated.
    
    (This was previously discussed in https://discourse.llvm.org/c/llvm/5
    but some mentions persisted.)
