annotate HACKING @ 24353:c204239bef48

Strip multiple leading mode characters from incoming nicknames. This patch adds the function irc_nick_skip_mode, which takes an IRC connection and nickname, and returns a pointer internal to the nickname representing the first non-mode-character of the nick. Apparently some IRC servers prepend more than one mode character to nicknames under some circumstances; the standard is pretty vague on the matter, and I can't see as how it hurts anything, so here goes. This patch was originally from Marcos Garc«ża Ochoa. Fixes #7416 committer: Ethan Blanton <elb@pidgin.im>
