So far Limnoria relied on detecting 'ERROR :closing link' (see doError
in src/irclib.py), but that's not a standard at all, and fails on
Oragono; so we need to do this to check we're disconnected.
Plus, parsing the argument of ERROR is awful in the first place.
setTimeout may be called as a supybot.drivers.poll callback,
which may by the access to supybot.drivers.poll() in _select;
so a crash in setTimeout will propage up to _run(), which would
cause a random driver to be killed because another one failed
and that's bad.
For example:
INFO 2020-05-27T18:40:18 supybot Received SIGHUP, reloading configuration.
ERROR 2020-05-27T18:40:19 supybot Uncaught exception in in drivers.run:

echo-message ended up in self.state.capabilities_req even though it wasn't
requested, so the bot was stuck in state:
"Waiting for ACK/NAK of capabilities: {'echo-message'}".
prefixes can be rather long, they have rather small cardinality, and
they are repeated a lot in the history; so they take up a sizeable
portion of memory.
And let's also internalize commands and server_tags keys
while I'm at it.
Plugin can opt in to getting echo messages by setting the class attribute
'echo_message = True' if they want to get echos.
This defaults to False in order not to break existing plugins, and because
they usually don't need it (there's outFilter for most cases).
