[Chandler-dev] IRC daemons moved

In preparation for a particular machine shut-off, the IRC daemons have  
been moved and rejiggered.  Please report any problems you find.

The archiving hasn't been carefully checked, but seems to work.  [See  
below for details, but only "bug XXXX" and "~mark" are functional with  
soup.

twisted-soup is dead.  I don't think anyone had used it in ages; let  
me know if otherwise.

soup and osaf-log have moved to a new server.  (The "archive" server,  
which collects logs files and runs the dashboard and metrics.)  We're  
running the Debian installs of "supybot" and "eggbot" (respectively),  
so some bugs probably have been fixed and we should now have security- 
fix support.  supybot is now running (the default) twisted because the  
old "socketDrivers" setting doesn't work any more.

[Time passes]

Ok, things got complicated.  Our soup plugins (courtesy of Mike, and  
some other alumni), were written for supybot 0.80, while there were  
API changes afterwards.  These changes are minor, but to get rolling  
again, I needed to disable a bunch of local plugins and hack the code  
for the rest.  Bear popped into IRC half-way through my coming to  
understand this situation and gave me the history and offers for help  
in the morning.  Rolling back to 0.80 was/is an option, but in the  
mean time, I just pressed forward to port the "bug XXXX" functionality  
and "~mark" functionality.  The tinderbox notification is down, but  
I'm not sure that's critical given current plans for the tbox farm.   
I'll sleep on next steps.

Bear, for reference, both soup and osaf-log are managed via runit, so  
the "screen" hack is dead and both bots will auto-start on boot; check  
the runit logs for runtime output.
