Changes

• Added support for detecting WHOX.
  • ServerInfo#hasWhoXSupport() to check support at any time.
  • Client now sends a WHOX request if detected.
• Added API for information on IRCv3 capabilities:
  • CapabilityManager provides information on capabilities available and in use.
  • CapabilityRequestCommand to build your own request.
  • [BREAKING] CapabilityState is now a Snapshot and moved package to the element package.
• Added support for more IRCv3.1 features:
  • account-notify
  • away-notify
  • extended-join
• Added new methods to User:
  • getAccount() - Gets the account the user is using, if any.
  • getRealName() - Gets the user's realname.
  • getServer() - Gets the server a user is connected to, if available.
  • isAway() - Gets if the user is currently away.
  • These methods require the aforementioned IRCv3 features and WHOX to be available on the server to work properly.
• Users are now tracked and consistent as long as they are present in a tracked channel.
• Authentication changes:
  • AuthManager now available to control authentication.
    • Provides methods for authenticating at any time and reclaiming nicknames.
  • [BREAKING] Client#setAuth removed. Utilize Client#getAuthManager().
• Listening to raw server input:
  • Added ClientReceiveNumericEvent:
    • Filter to a specific numeric code with NumericFilter.
    • Can filter to multiple codes with one method.
    • Example in the NumericFilter javadoc.
  • Added ClientReceiveCommandEvent:
    • Filter to a specific command with CommandFilter.
    • Can filter to multiple commands with one method.
    • Example in the CommandFilter javadoc.
• Updated Topic annotations to reflect reality:
  • A Channel will always return a Topic.
  • Topic#getTopic() will return null until the server has sent a topic.
• ModeCommand no longer requires parameters to any mode.
