Client needs to detect rechat vs plain IRC on connect. Add a RECHAT-INFO handler.

Protocol

Client sends: PRIVMSG srv :RECHAT-INFO
Server responds via NOTICE or PRIVMSG with key=value metadata:

server=rechat
version=0.1.0
features=enriched,groups,encryption,virtual-channels
endpoints=irc:10000

Must work before joining any channels (sent right after NICK/USER handshake)
Plain IRC servers will timeout or error → client treats as server=irc

Implementation

Handler in internal/server/srv.go
Include server public key (for TOFU, see #6) in response
