When joining a channel, wait for nickserv to identify before sending join commands. #204

On some networks, you need to be authenticated with nickserv before joining channels is allowed. Cinch fires the join command as soon as it connects to the server, which rejects the join request as nickserv hasn't had the opportunity to respond yet.

Cinch should have an option to wait for nickserv to confirm identification.

Use the cinch-identify plugin to identify with nickserv. In your bot's configure block, set c.delay_joins = :identified. Cinch will wait for the :identified event to fire before joining channels.
