Add handlers to list servers/channels, connect to/quit servers

- Add handlers to list connected servers and channels
- Add handlers to connect and disconnect from servers
- Check user config and only override specified settings
- Redact parameters in admin-only handlers from debug output to avoid
  logging potential passwords
- Set admin-only handlers to respond only in private messages
- Include list of admin handlers for customisation
- Extract debug strings to a table for customisation
