add cloaking support #2

Freenode (and probably others) offer cloaking feature - when your hostname is protected. Unfortunately if you use shoes-off right now it will go to #channels right after authentication so there will be no time for cloaking to take effect. Placing a delay is viable but ugly workaround.

The right solution would be to parse server's response and go to channels only after explicit cloaking message is received.

Can you explain a bit more? perhaps give me an anonymized example response?

I think it would be more efficient if you just request default (unaffiliated) cloak yourself - as it described in here: http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Cloak-on-IRC

Whole process will take 5-15 minutes depending on freenode ops workload.
