Switch docs from referencing Freenode to OFTC

We moved our services to OFTC at the end of May, 2021. Update all
old Freenode references in the manual, and also drop mention of
registering nicks as this is not currently required to join channels
we serve.

As of August 1, 2018 all OpenStack IRC channels require users to `register`_ their
nickname in order to join channels. Unregistered users will be redirected to
#openstack-unregistered which has the above link in the channel topic. This was
unfortunately `required`_ as a result of spam.
