This ensures that the irc.wikimedia.org channel list accurately shows which
projects have a channel. As well, clients can't join nonexistent channels,
which is wrong and needlessly complicates programming bots/scripts and is
confusing for human users. However these are not terribly important - the main
issue (IMO) is it feels very wrong to not create channels until an RC event
happens & there seems to be no reason to /not/ do it properly.

Fred suggested doing this in the rc python code instead of by forging edits
with udp packets, which is almost certainly a much better solution. The main
issue is actually getting a list of channels to create by parsing it out of
db.list or something.
