Erik Faye-Lund e6baf37778 docs: promote #dri-devel on oftc over freenode
Due to the recent changes at Freenode and the recommendation from the
X.Org board of moving to OFTC[1], many mesa-developers have moved over
to the #dri-devel channel on OFTC by now.

So let's promote that channel rather than the Freenode channel.

While we're at it, let's correct[2] the URI to use a slash to separate
between the host and channel. And omit the # from the channel name for
maximum compatibility.

Mailing Lists
=============
These are the primary Mesa 3D / DRI mailing lists:
- `mesa-users <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-users>`__
- intended for end-users of Mesa and DRI drivers. Newbie questions
are OK, but please try the general OpenGL resources and Mesa/DRI
documentation first.
- `mesa-dev <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`__
- for Mesa, Gallium and DRI development discussion. Not for
beginners.
- `mesa-commit <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-commit>`__
- relays Git check-in messages (for developers). In general, people
should not post to this list.
- `mesa-announce <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-announce>`__
- announcements of new Mesa versions are sent to this list. Very low
traffic.
- `dri-devel <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel>`__
- for the Linux/BSD Direct Rendering Module (DRM) kernel modules
supporting Mesa's userspace drivers
- `piglit <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit>`__ -
for Piglit (OpenGL driver testing framework) discussion.

You **must** subscribe to these lists in order to post to

you try to post from a different email address than you subscribed with)
your posting will be held for an indefinite period or may be discarded
entirely.

The old Mesa lists hosted at SourceForge are no longer in use. The
archives are still available, however:
`mesa3d-announce <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mesa3d-announce>`__,
`mesa3d-users <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mesa3d-users>`__,
