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.

Support
-------
Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel
<irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
