[dcc2] dcc multiuser chat

Hi,

Anything other than simple chat is unncessary, if you dont want someone
to be in the conversation, you can simply leave it and everyone else
will leave.

A simple multi-user DCC chat is just nice for stuff where want a step up
in privacy (not that its much, but you could use encrypted streams etc
negotiated in the authentication)

It's not really possible to implement control because its easily
overcome by other users just hacking up or writing their own
implementations.

Cheers,
Trent
