[www][docs] Remove last mentions of IRC (#139076)
It's the end of an era. The IRC channel was previously where the
community gathered to discuss technical topics but is now a ghost town
where the primary activity is moderators (me) kickbanning the same
individual dozens of times a day for CoC violations and the secondary
activity is telling the occasional person to come to Discord for help.
The number of people engaging on IRC for the community's intended
purposes seems to be roughly one person a month.

So this removes all remaining mentions of IRC from our documentation so
that it no longer appears to be an "official" channel for communicating
with the community. It also removes IRC handles from the various
maintainers lists, since those would stand out as confusing
anachronisms.

The IRC channel topic already recommends people come to the Discord
server. There is no way to "shut down" an IRC channel such that it no
longer exists, so the channel will continue to exist on OFTC, but will
be unmoderated.

(This was previously discussed in https://discourse.llvm.org/c/llvm/5
but some mentions persisted.)

// Clang Tools repository
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to the repository of extra Clang Tools.  This repository holds tools
that are developed as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project and the
Clang frontend.  These tools are kept in a separate "extra" repository to
allow lighter weight checkouts of the core Clang codebase.

All discussion regarding Clang, Clang-based tools, and code in this repository
should be held using the standard Clang forum:
  https://discourse.llvm.org/c/clang

Code review for this tree should take place on the standard Clang patch and
commit lists:
  http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits

If you find a bug in these tools, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker:
  https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/
