The framework may emit messages which do not have a time stamp.
We tried to unconditionally convert the time field, fix that.
The Msg constructor replaces falsey time fields with the current
date so we can also remove the duplication from that codepath.
There's a bunch of sub optimal behavior from our ident server.
For one, it allows user enumeration which we don't really want and it doesn't clean up connections that don't send any data.
Fix that
We only respond once to data, then half-close the connection.
Hence, we should only listen to a single data event as well,
else if the remote doesn't stop sending data we keep trying to
write to the closed write end of the pipe.
Per RFC 1413, The uniquely identifying tuple includes not only the ports,
but also both addresses.
If multiple connections happen to use the same local port number
(which is possible if the addresses differ), the username of the first
is returned for all, resulting in the wrong ident for all but the
first.
By not checking the connection address, the information becomes
public. Because there is only relatively small number of local ports,
and the remote ports are likely to be either 6667 or 6697, it becomes
trivial to enumerate all the users.

The auth functions are a bloody mess and need to be cleaned up.
using various callback functions and using variables as pointers makes the logic
hard to follow and hence idiotic to type too, as multiple orthogonal logic paths
are mixed up into one function.
This really needs to be untangled
The publicClient interface is utterly horrific.
It allows any client to inject arbitrary events into the socket.io
event stream.
This should get wrapped into a "plugin" event so that it can get properly
typed, better yet, this should get removed completely.
The sort event bundled networks and channels for no reason at all.
They share none of the actual logic, so combining them just makes
the typing poor but serves no benefit.
