Scripts for managing PPFI channels on PirateIRC

The original list of channels comes from where MI1 is according to oper WHOIS and should match kanavat.csv with exceptions of secret channels and those not (fully) belonging to Pirate Party of Finland.

The scripts only generate lines that should be copy-pasted to a IRC client for anything to actually happen. They are provided missing GroupServ in hope that PPFI is able to operate IRC without @Mikaela constantly present.

• ./generate-amode-cmds.bash +o MI1 - giving user MI1 op on all channels which will persist and be granted on join. Prefer this script.
• ./generate-oper-override-mode.bash +o MI1 - the same, except requires operator permission, allows unregistered accounts and doesn’t persist over /cycle whether manual or connection loss or similar. Use only in emergency and even in emergency, and even then prefer amoding yourself with the previous script and then using the next script.
• ./generate-usual-mode-cmds.bash +o MI1 - non-oper version of the previous script, generates normal /mode commands within the usual permission system most likely requiring being op (use the amode script for that, see drawbacks of the previous script).
