Usually, IRC users just upload files somewhere and send a bare link,
perhaps with a bit of explanation.

The bridge originally did something like this for files:

	* f_[mtrx] uploaded an image: (20KiB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/something/some-other-thing/image.png >

and something like this for code blocks:

	* f_[mtrx] sent a code block: https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/something/some-other-thing

That is quite unusual on IRC. This commit changes it to:

	<f_[mtrx]> https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/something/some-other-thing/image.png (20KiB)
	<f_[mtrx]> https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/something/some-other-thing

Which is more natural.

It previously was:

	<f_> hi everyone, what's up? I'm about to migrate some stuff today
	~ a while after ~
	<f_[mtrx]> <f_> "hi everyone,..." <- hi, doing great!

Now it is:

	<f_> hi everyone, what's up? I'm about to migrate some stuff today
	~ a while after ~
	<f_[mtrx]> f_: "hi everyone,..." <- hi, doing great!

Some IRC clients may not create a ping when the nickname is surrounded
with `<` and `>`.

when using `!cmd`

IRC commands can be lowercase.

starts with an invalid character

Looks more natural to IRC users. IRC users usually add an underscore at
the beginning or a "`".

With that, "M24Hacker[m]" becomes "`24Hacker[m]"

The bridge used to *not* bridge Matrix bans to IRC. As such, when
someone banned an IRC user from Matrix, it would only prevent Matrix
users from seeing messages coming from said user, but would not ban that
user from IRC at all. This resulted in Matrix channel moderators being
confused when other IRC users are reporting spam that simply isn't
bridged at all as a result.

This commit adds support for bridging Matrix bans to IRC. Currently, it
just bans on IRC based on the IRC user's nickname, but this could change
in the future, and most importantly is better than not bridging the
ban at all.

Fixes matrix-org#1521

When someone sent a message:

	<f_[mtrx]> Hello?

And then replied to their own message:

	<f_[mtrx]> > <@Funderscore:nova.astraltech.org> Hello?
	           Hi?

What would be sent on IRC would either be this:

	<f_[mtrx]> Hello?
	<f_[mtrx]> f_[mtrx]: Hi?

Or:

	<f_[mtrx]> Hello?
	-- a while later --
	<f_[mtrx]> f_[mtrx]: "Hello?" <- Hi?

Both of which are confusing because usually nobody pings themself on
IRC.

This commit treats replies to self differently, and introduces a new
`selfReplyTemplate` config option, so that the reply gets bridged as:

	<f_[mtrx]> <f_[mtrx]> Hello?
	<f_[mtrx]> Hi?

Which is a bit more natural.
