Functors

Introduction

Currently, a lot of our methods are static and in the core (such as InspIRCd::IsNick etc etc).

This is fine and good from a usability perspective, but it sucks in some ways (upgradability, extensibility).

Thus, we need to turn them into functors, which can be overridden by modules, for example:

 * userrec::addclient = mymodule::myaddclient;

This will allow for modular implementation of international nicks, etc.
