Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [5.6] Ignore the TGT-LIST parameter in erc-open

* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-open): Set `erc-default-recipients' to a list
containing only the supplied target.  Any other value may cause ERC to
malfunction.  Also redo doc string.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] [5.6] Normalize ISUPPORT params with empty values in ERC

* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-server-parameters)
(erc--isupport-params): Mention parsing and storage behavior regarding
nonstandard "FOO=" tokens.
(erc--parse-isupport-value): Move comment closer to code.
(erc--get-isupport-entry): Treat the empty string as truly null, as
prescribed by the Brocklesby draft cited in the top-level comment.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc--get-isupport-entry): Add case for
the empty string appearing as a value for an `erc-server-parameters'
item.
(erc-server-005): Assert compat-related behavior of retaining the
empty string as a valid value from a raw "FOO=" token.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [5.6] Use modern fallback for channel name detection in
 ERC

* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc-query-buffer-p): Remove forward declaration.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-query-buffer-p): Defer to `erc-channel-p'.
(erc-channel-p): Refactor and use `erc--fallback-channel-prefixes' for
the default CHANTYPES value.  Honor an empty CHANTYPES set as valid
for dealing with servers that only support direct messages.
(erc--fallback-channel-prefixes): New variable to hold fallback
CHANTYPES value recommended by authorities on the matter.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-tests.el (erc-channel-p): Revise test.
