Add a replyIrc parameter to ReplyIrcProxy to run a command on one network, but route the replies to another.
This fixes a long standing issue where replies for remote commands are often lost to the void, as the nick of the caller may not exist on the target network (or worse, it could belong to a completely unrelated person).
Closes GH-556.

I fear putting it in callbacks would be overzealous and reset it
within the processing of the same message, eg. when using conditional
to set the 'ignore' tag before other nested commands run.
Specifically, the issue is with Anonymous using irc.noReply() in
the first call, preventing nested commands' result from being used.
Before this commit, the second and third responses in the test would be
only "1" and "2" instead of "1 ['foo']" and "2 ['foo']".
Before this commit, the plugin first fetched a list of all
(deserialized) records in a list, then reversed the list, and iterated
on the reverse list.
This proved to be slow, with most of the time being spent in
`dbi.DB._newRecord` (which essentially deserializes one list of CSV).
After this commit, the list is reversed first, then the plugin iterates
on its generator, which calls `_newRecord` on records as they are
requested.
This means that when there are many URLs in the database, `@last` does
not need to waste time deserializing most records, when the result is
near the end (and if the result is the first record, then it does
exactly as much work as before).
It is functionally fine not to, but causes objects to never be freed
if iter() is the only method called on the queue (ie. no
enqueue/dequeue, len(), ...)
Not sorting them causes the config file to change when the bot writes
it, because order is nondeterministic.
This is usually fine, but can be annoying when configs are deployed
with Ansible.
Closes GH-1516
With some locale configurations (not that uncommon on CentOS), open() may
default to non-UTF8 encodings (eg. ANSI_X3.4-1968).
This is usually not an issue, because we use open() both for writing and
reading. However, AtomicFile implicitly enforces UTF8; which needs to be
mirrored when reading.
