Nicks/usernames with spaces are not sent properly to IRC

[Aketzu]

If Slack side has a bot user with spaces in name (e.g. "Travis CI") then IRC PRIVMSG's will be incorrect and fail parsing in IRC clients.

For example currently matterircd sends Travis CI!Travis CI@Travis CI PRIVMSG #dev :Build done whereas it should be Travis_CI!Travis_CI@Travis_CI PRIVMSG #dev :Build done

One trivial fix would be to replace (at least) space in sorcix/irc

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-2.3.1 contains list of allowed characters but at least for me it's enought to convert space into underscore
