Thomas Petazzoni 8062700e2d docs/website: add paragraph about the IRC channel restrictions
Due to excessive spamming on Freenode, the IRC channel is currently
restricted to registered users. Since this may not be obvious for
people not familiar with IRC, let's mention it on our website, with a
link to the relevant documentation.

<p>The Buildroot IRC channel is <a href="irc://freenode.net/#buildroot">
#buildroot</a>, hosted on Freenode. If you do not have an IRC client, you can
use the <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net">Freenode web interface</a>.
When asking for help on IRC, share relevant logs or pieces of code using a code
sharing website.</p>
<p>Note that due to excessive spamming on Freenode, the channel can only be
joined if you are a registered user with
<a href="https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration">Freenode nickserv</a>
service. Follow the instructions to register as a user with a password,
and then join the <code>#buildroot</code> channel.</p>
