Summary: Adding Username = ircUser when connecting to an IRC server

Initial Comment:
This is not a patch per se. :B

I noticed that Infobot doesn't set the username when connecting to an IRC server even when ircUser is set in files/infobot.config. Adding

Username => $param{'ircUser'},

to %args in src/IRC/Irc.pl line 111 fixes this.

re-opening...

so you would want all the nicks to connect as the same Username? (if you
were using multiple nicks)

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean in your message:

implemented later on with $mynick. Does that work?

Message:
I think they would still use different nicks but the username would be the
same. The problem with not specifying Username is that Net::IRC will
connect using `whoami` as username, which is something I don't really want
as my Unix username differs from my nick.

Message:
I run infobot attached multiple times to the same irc network as five
different nicks. I think this patch will cause them all to look like the
same nick on attach, correct?

They should each show up as their own nick.
