Connect to an IRC server

To connect to an IRC server, you'll need to provide a User and IConnection to instantiate a new IrcClient.

The user object can be created with a nick and an optional real name.

var user = new User("myBot", "Fun Bot");

For the connection, you'll want to use a TcpClientConnection.

var conn = new TcpClientConnection();

Once you have those ready, you can create your client and connect. You'll need to specify and address and port when connecting.

var client = new IrcClient(user, conn);
await client.ConnectAsync("irc.mysite.com", 6667);

The client will automatically send PASS, NICK, and USER messages to the server once connected.
