/commands on non-irc chats should not be processed by the irc module.
This way, we don't ever leak on non-irc channels.

On irc channels, /nonexisting should get mapped to plain "nonexisting",
so it will get properly encrypted by otr.

On irc channels, /existing commands should go out as-is. They should not
get encrypted or they won't work. The user is expected to realise that.
(hey - its an irc user, they know :)

My use of /me really comes from the MUD adventure days. It would really
only suppress the " says:" prefix so you could 'emote', eg "/me smiles".
