feat(irc): gate on BBS user store (loopback /irc-auth), drop ssh irc@

Rework the IRC access model to the user-level source of truth — the
bbs.profullstack.com user store — per the agreed design:

- Auth via the store, not OS users. New loopback endpoint /irc-auth (on the
  /verify server) answers {member,premium} from the store via UserByName. Ergo's
  auth-script now curls it instead of `getent passwd`; the OS-user (tilde.town)
  reconcile in setup.sh is reverted. require-sasl on, registration off.
- Remove the in-BBS `ssh irc@` route: delete internal/irc (in-process client +
  TUI), handleIRC/runIRC, the hub IRC menu entry, and the dispatch case. Members
  connect with an external client (or web) at irc.profullstack.com:6697 / wss.
  IRCNames kept only to reserve the "irc" name (IsIRCName removed).
- Keep external clients; keep the irc.profullstack.com hostname + cert work.

Premium channel creation: /irc-auth already returns each account's premium
status, but enforcement is NOT yet wired (the old irc@ /create was removed with
the route; Ergo can't gate creation per-account natively). operator-only-creation
stays off for now; server-side premium gating (a ChanServ-style bot) is a
documented follow-up. See docs/irc.md.

# AgentBBS members are real OS users (tilde.town model; setup.sh provisions an

# tradeoff was chosen deliberately for this private, TLS-only network.
