1. libathemecore/ptasks: handle status-prefixed channel messages …

   If a channel message comes in with a status prefix, we should still
   treat it as a channel message.
   
   This does not raise concerns about chanops hiding the usage of fantasy
   commands because they can always private message services directly and
   the output of potentially-abusive commands (for example, kick) is
   signed off with their account name anyway (which will not change).
   
   Under the solanum family of IRCds, there exists a channel mode +z,
   which will transform messages to #channel into messages to @#channel
   if the message would have been blocked by +m/+b/+q. This is to clearly
   distinguish to channel operators that the only reason they are seeing
   the message is that they are operators, and that other channel users
   will not have seen it.
   
   ChanServ is also a channel operator, but it would not have received
   the message, because services ignored status-prefixed channel messages.
   This prevented users using fantasy commands if they are affected by +z;
   for example, by the channel being +m. Confusingly, this would have
   allowed "!deop" to work, but not "!op".
   
   Reported by juggs on IRC, who did not respond to a request for the
   proper attribution in Reported-by.
