README: Move wasp-os community chat to libera.chat
We also update the recommendation for those new to IRC to use
a matrix/IRC bridge instead of a simple IRC web client since that
should make the community a bit more interactive.
If you are curious about the move to libera.chat take a look at
the Linux Weekly News summary of the beginning of the end
(https://lwn.net/Articles/857140/ ) together with these
testimonials about the behaviour of the new freenode staff
which I think makes clear we have reached the end of the end:

So... we're moving... and sorry for not making this decision sooner!
